Second twist


My first twist at Twister

Twister is one of the tools at ClassTools. It allows you to create "fake tweets (comments)". 

Here's my first twist



Diigo

I created a Diigo account and right away started adding webpages to my library. I added tags and -very- brief descriptions. I aslo included some sticky notes regarding specifics that may come in handy when visiting the webpages again. I still need to keep exploring it, though, as I can see that there are many other things I can do with it. 

Here's the link to my library at diigo.

Word Clouds

This is a word cloud I created using Wordle. Wordle is a fantastic tool for teachers. Using it is very simple and it allows us to make fabulous-looking word clouds in just a few minutes. They have many uses. One of them is to create stories. As a teacher, one can give students a word cloud and ask them to make up a story using those ideas. 


Wordle: IT

My Voki


This is the Voki I've created and I did it at this web page. I hadn't created an avatar before and I actually thought it would be harder than it was. Voki is in fact very user-friendly and the experience was quite ejoyable. I think that it could be a very interesting tool to use with my students. They are really keen on technology and there are all sorts of games we could play using an Avatar.
