<p>I thought we could all post new 2.0 tools we use in the classroom. I thought it'd be a great way to learn about new resources through each other. Here are a couple I know:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Voicethread - a website where students can create a post and record themselves speaking. Students can also post to each other's items and interact with one another.</p>

<p>Educreations - a website that allows you to make a presentation online. It looks like a whiteboard, but you can add pictures, recordings and text. This is a great concept for students and teachers.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Weebly - you can create a website/blog here. It's a way to have students create a different type of project. The website is very user-friendly. </p>

<p>Please share some of your tools!</p> Nook Studytag:www.classroom20.com,2011-03-27:649749:Topic:6179832011-03-27T17:26:28.953ZDavid Deanhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/DavidDean
