Web 2.0

My Web 2.0 Tool was Smilebox. Smilebox has so many brilliant templates that allow you to create calenders, newsletters, virtual show and tells, and many other creative outlets for your classroom. We chose to create a newsletter about our TPTE 486 class as our artifact for the Web 2.0 wiki. Smilebox is a great tool that can engage parents and students outside the class. I feel there are some definite similarities to Glogster in some aspects, especially appearance. Children can create their own page and share it online via email or print it out to take home. If given access to computers in the classroom I definitely would use Smilebox as a work station to create a page about a current lesson.
