Thing # 15

I like using wiki in a school environment because you can post daily activities, homework assignments, newletters and any type of school events that are taking place. I also liked the fact that anyone can edit or add to a wiki making them up to date but I think that is also the downfall for some people. Some people try to be funny by using the edit option to out something in wiki that doesn't belong. So for reasearch options I would not use wikipedia for a reliable source. Teachers and parents can narrow the communication barrior by pulling up their wiki page to see what's goin on. I chose Thing #7 for the apsu23thingssandbox because Flickr can be used for your own perosnal use and for school related purposes. I really enjoyed putting my own pictures into the website and sharing them with others. For some reason when I chose to edit it wouldn't let me edit it to put my thing # 7 in the sandbox. I have been trying to edit it and I guess there is something wrong with the edit option. So therefore my thing # 7 is not in the sandbox.

Thing #14

I explored Gliffy for the flow chart website. It was very simple and easy to brainstorm ideas for a project. I could even use it as a college student for diagrams for presentations and much more. Students will have it so much easier on how to do their project diagrams made simple. As a teacher I could introduce this website to my future students so they can use this beneficial website. I also explored mind maps using bubbl.us. This website is a pretty neat website to use for brainstorming. It is very simple to just click on the tab option and make as many tabs as you need. I plan on using this if I ever need to show students in my future class how to make a mind map easy and simple to track your thoughts and ideas before writing them down into a paper.

Thing #13

My experience with ZOHO was amazing. I think that this is a perfect way for students and teachers who dont have microsoft office to use this web tool to access all of their documents and print them right from the page. As a future teacher I think that this website is a good website to save paper and pull up from ZOHO to show the class. It also gives the students an option to write a paper or make a presentation to pull up straight from this web site to show the teacher. It gives you the option to work online and access it straight of the internet. I really like the fact that it is free unlike a microsoft office package.
