Cool Tools for Teachers

Class today was way cool. We learned the following tools:

  • RSS – subscribing to feeds from other peoples websites, blogs, etc
  • Google Reader - an aggregator
  • netvibes.com - http://netvibes.com
  • edublogs.org - www.edublogs.org
  • gaggle.net - reading blog posts to students with reading disabilities

We looked at a number of blogs and how they could be used from an educational perspective. Here are some of the uses we explored:

  • collaborative project
  • school website
  • teacher's classroom portal
  • medium for instutional knowledge (similar to an Intranet)
We also started our Advocacy Wiki - http://pbwiki.com
