The picture above was made from bighugelabs. This website is used to create motivational posters, which I think is pretty neat. The website allows you to upload your own photo, and then type a motivational message. This is awesome because you can make your own posters for your classroom. If I want to have this in my future classroom I will. I would just have to find a place to print it out. I like this idea because you can customize each one for different classes or you could have a class make one. I think this is a great idea because its more personal then the other motivational posters you see in the classroom. Students will be able to feel more connected to the classroom if they made a motivational poster, or if they see their class on one. What you have in your classroom can effect how each student learns, and but having motivational posters this helps.

What is locamoda? Well I did not know until last week, so here we go.
Ever want something to quickly poll your answers, or want to have your whole class view something you post. Well Locamoda has helped with that. This is a tool that is used for teachers create boards, and post them where ever they may choose. This tool allows a teacher to create a board with a question, and allow everyone to respond buy either texting their message to a code, or to go to the website and type your answer there. Each student has a chance to voice their opinion without worrying about their peers. This website keeps everyone's post scrolling through, and has an anonymous idea to it.
I really like this because you can see everyone's response at once, and people need not to fear self humiliation because the class saw your work. I would use this in my class as an exit slip to see how my lesson went. I would be able to use this data to see if i need to reteach or move on.

Edmodo..... The Facebook of classrooms. This is a cool website that one of my field teachers added me too. He made me a teacher under his class so I can post all of my resources for the students. In this class I use this website to upload quizzes, exit slips, polls, and i can view all of the students status. Some students treat this like a Facebook page, but as a teacher you can delete inappropriate content, and message that student. Most students use it to discuss class work, or something happening in the school. I really like this page because it reminds me of Facebook but I can upload assignments, post grades, post polls, and I have the power to delete posts. I know for a fact I will use this in my classroom, because it has so many features of many 2.0 tools in one.
Last, which has to be the coolest. Prezi, which is a PowerPoint upgrade. Love it, and I use it all of the time. I like this because
1. No worry's about crashing, it saves automatically.
2. It fun and pretty
3. There are way more features then PowerPoint
4. Lastly, you can share them with anyone, and use other peoples work.
To be honest its pretty awesome. so heres and example using the Netiquette rules. http://prezi.com/-2tszyegxav_/netiquetterules-and-behaviors/
