Webquests, Picnik, and Glogster

So this week in TPTE 486 we have been introduced to three different technologies. I really enjoyed learning about webquests, as I myself have never participated in a webquest. This is a resource that is not only engaging, but educational and all teachers should implement this into their curriculum.

Picnik is a really fun web-tool that allows you to edit photos online. The basic membership is free and offers many of the same components as Photoshop. You don't even have to sign-up for an account if you don't want to! You can simply go to the website, upload an image, and have fun editing!

Glogster was my favorite out of all three. Glogster is an interactive website that allows people to create a more diverse blog, or something comparable to a "digital poster." You can add images, text, videos, graphics, etc.

All of these tools and resources can be easily used and adapted for classroom use! Brush up on your online resources to help improve instruction for the 21st century classroom!
