A very cool digital tool for teachers to use is a website called todaysmeet.com.  This website reminds me of twitter.  It gives the students a chance to check and make sure what you are saying is valid.  This technology can allow anybody to check credibility. 

I would use this is my classroom if I were lecturing.  I like this because students can discuss and ask questions without interrupting the teacher.  When you type a question another student can answer, it's pretty cool!  This would be great for those shy or slow to warm-up students! 

Another website that I absolutely loved was voki.  Voki is a website that allows you to build a character.  You make up the entire character from scratch.  From the nose to the hair, to the voice, and it lets you choose a background.  

I really want to use this in my classroom.  My students would love this.  Especially the different accents that are available.   I think I will use voki to introduce a new topic during our class meeting.  It will give the students something different to look at and listen to, instead hearing and seeing me all the time.  I believe my students will respond well to this because they are young and would love to watch a new character that they have never seen before. 

    As I look back at all of the things I have learned from this class I have to laugh because I really didn't know that much about technology and how to use it in the classroom.  When I first started this class I gave myself a 9 on a scale of 1-10 of how proficient I was about technology and how I used it in my classroom.   Yeah right!  Even now, after taking this class,  I would give myself a 7.5-8.  
  
  I remember wanting to learn more about "useful" interactive websites.  I know so many That i can use for myself and for my students.  I really liked Diigo, wordle, and Voki.  I can really use these websites in my class.  I also thought that I had taken this course while getting my bachelor's but it was entirely different.  This course was very useful, it should be required for every teacher to take.  

    The instructor for this course was very knowlegeable, he always had answers to my questions.  He inspired me to use multiple technologies in the classroom, something I would have never done if it wasn't for this instructor or for this class.  I feel more comfortable with technology and I can't wait to show my students what we can do!
