Educational Value Animato

There is a high educational value to animato. It is simple to use and it provides a great learning tool, especially for young children. It is fun and it provides them with realistic pictures of the concepts you are teaching. I plan on doing my webquest on the book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". The main purpose is to have children understand the life cycle. This is a wonderful way to expose them to realistic pictures and facts in a creative way that will extend their learning experiences.

Educational Value of Wordle

title="Wordle: reading">

Above you will notice what we call a word cloud that is produced by Wordle. What do you think of when you see the word reading? This year we will be using technology to extend our learning and to also complete activities and assignments, especially in the area of literacy. I hope you are as excited as I am to take advantage of the use of technology in our learning.
