Week 5

My favorite two Web 2.0 sites are YouTube and Prezi.com

1. Youtube, beside finding hilarious clips of people doing and saying crazy things there are various educational opportunities. I use these videos a lot for character education. I feel like there are many different ways to incorporate Youtube into different lesson to make them more interesting.

2. Prezi.com, is my new favorite presentation software. Its so easy to understand and use that my 5th graders can figure it out without getting frustrated. The presentation web-site can be used in a variety of ways. I used it recently with my students as a study guide for the spelling words. I had the students put in all 20 words. The choose two words and wrote a sentence using the words. Then they found pictures on google and added two pictures to go with their sentences.
