New Technical Skills!!! =]

I have been becoming more fluent with the different websites we are asked to explore for this course. I actually feel my confidence level rising, which is new for me! I feel that I have a grasp on what to do for at least the project 1, and the essay. I have been enjoying looking through at the different websites that are available for teachers to use in their classroom. I love the different creative websites that the students can have the option of exploring. The Odosketch was the website that I really loved because I was able to look at my thought process while I designed my picture. I think having the ability to see the student's thought process while they draw would be helpful in giving me a better outlook on their cognitive skills. Many websites can make certain routines in the classroom alot easier. The Google Reader is neat because it keeps track of what books each students reads, and gives the option to let the students share with one another about their reading. The random name picker is also neat because it mixes up names and picks one. This would be great for when the teacher needs someone to run an errand, or be a helper.
