     For an assignment in my Educational Technology class with Dr. Benton, I was challenged to find ten Web 2.0 Tools that I can use in my future classroom. I have accepted Dr. Benton's challenged and have posted a brief synopsis of the tool with a link to that tools website and the reason that I would use the tool in my classroom. Perhaps you may want to use them in your classroom fellow and future teachers.

            Storybird lets you make visual stories. Help you make your own stories from all ages.It helps your story come to life. This tool would help by making story time come to life. Also they could make up their own story using this tool.

        

         Visuwords is like a dictionary it helps you find the meaning to a word. So if you don't know the meaning you can just go to this website. It will tell you what it means. I would use this tool in the classroom like when a student didn't know what the word meant.Then I would  get on here and show them on this website.

Kidblog allows students to post and participate in a discussions.This blog would be secure within the classroom.I would maintain complete control over the blogs. I would use this tool to figure out how they are doing on an assignment. I also could use this tool to see if there is any problems in the classroom.

          Kidopo is to help improve basic skills. It helps reading,math,drawing, and etc.Help kids use other source of education. I would use this tool to help students understand more to the lesson. There is all kinds of different games to help them understand.   

Game Classroom is a web destination to help the kids. It helps with educational games and homework for K-6 students.It also can be useful for parents as they have worksheets to help with their children's homework. How I would use this tool is to help the students understand the lesson more in detail. So they can have extra help throughout the year.

WebMath  is math-help website.It helps by giving extra math help to students of all ages. Also helps shows them how to get to the right answer. I would use this tool by telling the parents about this if their child needs extra help in math. I know not everyone gets math like that,because I know math isn't my best subject.

Studyladder helps you with 10 different subjects. It gives you the same sources as teachers. Instant help with hints and clues when needed. I would use this tool as a classroom activity as needed. Also I would give parents the website so they could use this tool too.

Word Magnets has interaction games for math,phonics, and other activities. It also has resources for teachers. It helps with themes too. I would use this to help get worksheets,bulletin board ideas and other sources. I will also use this for the students to help them get better at that subject.

Museum Box  it helps build up the event your talking about. You can use a virtual box. You can turn a text file to a movie. I would use this tool to help bring history to life for them. If I can make history come to life then they would be more interested. 

Scratch  helps with stories,reading,games, and other items. It helps them have creative ideas. It also lets you share your ideas with others. I would use this tool  to help them with stories and reading. I would also show them other peoples ideas.
