This is an example of a cool Web 2.0 tool called ANIMOTO. I would like to have my students create their own video using pictures that we will take in class using my camera. I think that this tool will get students excited about learning and using technology.

This is another example of an interesting Web 2.0 tool that is easy to use and which my students will most likely really enjoy working with. Students can work with a variety of subject matter and are free to express themselves while becoming familiar with 21st century technology in a supportive environment.

This is yet another great example of a fantastic tool that students can use in any number of creative ways. I think that my students will really enjoy adding bubbles and creating fun captions. I am so excited about this tool because it allows students to work on their literacy skills in a dynamic and creative way. Their 21st century technological skills are also being fostered through the use of this imaginative, funny and collaborative tool.

I hope that this example of 21st century technology will get my students excited about trying it on their own. I feel that this particular example will also create opportunities for discussion and learning about a variety of topics including politics, the democratic process, diversity and tolerance.

The link above is a Google Earth tour of Colorado. I would like to have my students take the tour and use the information that they learned on the tour to create a podcast "commercial" for the colorado tourism board. I think that this lesson will be alot of fun for my students and allow them to develop their literacy skills while learning about Colorado geographically and historically.
