Tool 9

Wow! This is really cool. When I went to JING and saw the mapping example they used, I immediately saw a connection to teaching the mapping part of Social Studies. It will be very cool for kids to actually have hands-on training for using, knowing, creating, maps.
SKYPE really caught my interest in the areas of professional development, homework help, and the ability to invite a Read Aloud visitor on-line! Wow! How convenient for both a busy guest, and for the short day in a classroom.
On a more negative note, I did have problems registering for SKYPE but am sure I will be on in no time at all.
