1. Some of my favorite tools used would have to be the Glogster, Photostory, and many of the Google tools. I love the idea of having new and creative routes to old fashioned projects. Also, any way of staying connected and sharing news and current science events is great when having so much technology in the classroom.
2. I am definitly going to be using some of these tools in my classroom this year. I can only anticipate the excitement that my 6th graders will have when exploring and sharing their ideas on the computer. I think it will allow many students who may mot be so inclined to speaking and sharing in the classroom, an opportunity to carry out amazing things through alternative outlets.
3. Overall I think everything is going to be very useful in sharing information, posting thoughts, and carrying out ideas. I guess by becoming exposed to many of them only I will know whats best for my classroom. My only other fear is that students themselves will become overwhelmed in using these different tools and confusion among the different sites, classes, assignments, and especially usernames/passwords would amount.
