Thing 17

More Web 2.0 Winners
I searched through several of the winners including Hair mixer.  I know a lot of teenage girls who could spend hours there!  I then went over to comiqs and thought that was a lot of fun.  I'd like to find ways to keep our students engaged while still learning new concepts.  I admit to thinking that powerpoint is still cool.  Right now, I'm working with 7th graders using powerpoint and MEL to learn about Africa.  Perhaps if they created some slides using comiqs they'd have more fun, feel more creative and still accomplish the outcomes necessary to make us feel good about teaching. Perhaps throwing in some of these tools will challenge us and keep our students from falling asleep at the computer.
