From the Edutopia article that I read, there are many things that I plan to use when I go into service as a teacher. The site, www.donorschoose.org, www.scrapaction.org, and www.freecycle.org are all great ways to get resources to the school, without dipping into funds that could be allocated elsewhere. I also could see myself using www.voicethread.com for students to make introductions for themselves, or even create a presentation of some sort.
I was most intrigued by www.wordle.net, hence there is a word cloud of my Ayers reflection hanging over my post. As a teacher, I would recommend the student use this tool to pull out potential vocabulary words that the student could then go back to and study. Also, if the student was writing a paper, he or she could use this resource to gain insight on his or her word choices, thereby making this a great tool for reflection. A student would be able to improve on their writing skills when a tool such as this brings it to light.
