Tool # 6 Wikis

Wikis are a great tool. I think it will be helpful, specially in our team, since we are a group of several pre-k teachers in the same school it will give us a new way to collaborate and make the best learning activities for our students by working together through wikis.

Tool # 5 Tagging and Social Bookmarking

It's great to have learned about social bookmarking it will help us have new and relevant information to help us create great lessons plans and allow us to integrate technology in our classrooms.

Delicious it's a great tool. I just signed up and I love it. It has helped me organize all my websites and teaching ideas from web sites that I have collected throughout the years in a much more organized way.

Tool # 4 Cool Google Tools

As I learned about the google tools I found out how much easier it will be to share lesson plans and other documents with my teammates.It will absolutely be something that I am looking forward to implement the upcoming school year.

Tool # 3 Image Generators and Mashups

I'm so excited to learn about how to generate mash ups. Though Flickr I can create photo albums of my students and share with the parents and school community our most fun activities.I can create slide shows and videos for my students to enjoy. I would love to create a theme based album to help us review our study units. Also, I can integrate all the lessons by creating a slide show or downloading a video created in class related to what we are teaching in the different subjects.Students always love to see themselves in pictures and videos.
More ideas and updates to come as I learn from this wonderful sites;

Tool # 2 Building Community

Technology is a great way to vary our teaching techniques. We can address the different learning styles of our students and also keeping them much more engaged and interested in the new technology.
