Delicious

I really liked the delicious site, I thought it was a creative way to help out with the bookmarking. This will help cut down on time for typing in and looking for the sites that you always go to on a daily basis. I think I might have to try it out because like it said this will be whereever you have internet connection and I believe that this will be very useful for me.

Spreadsheet

I have always liked using spreadsheets. They organize things and they are very useful for charts or anything with grids. I would definately use this in the classroom, because students can benefit from this program. They can use this for projects with math or science based. As a teacher we use then to keep attendance and to calculate our grades. This program has it where that we can just add to it without redoing the equation that we use to calculate the grades. It saves time from having to punch it into a calculator and it looks better whenever the product is finished.

Week 3 Inspiration

This is a really cool product. This will help elminate using a ton of scratch paper to do your paper or your project. I like they part where you can add stuff to your bubbles and that you can tie in videos and web links to it as well. You can use Inspiration in the classroom by letting them do the scratch work on it. This well save more time and it will be a lot more organized worked than having a something over here and something over there.

The type of activites are like a research paper or someone or something that may interest them. Also, reading short stories are good writing activities that Inspiration would benefit. One way is to do there work on Blogger and having posts back and forth to each other to help other students out. And Inspiratons is a good tool to use when you have to make revisions because you can add stuff just with the click of the buttom and it is a lot easier to write a paper. All you have to do is transfer the work over to Microsoft Word and it has it done for you.
