Semester favorites

This semester, my two favorite things we explored in class are the Delicious website and Animoto.  The reason I really enjoyed Delicious was because it never occurred to me to bookmark all of the websites that I found useful or thought would be useful in the future.  It is really great to be able to go to a website and have the power to pull up so many different websites that I have used before, and use them to create lesson plans or come up with fun projects for my students to work on.

The reason that I chose Animoto as one of my favorite things I learned in this class is because I had a lot of fun designing and creating the slideshow that showed a concept I wanted to teach to my future students.  It was much more exciting to watch as opposed to a Powerpoint presentation, and it is incredibly simple to operate because it does most of the work, all you do is place the images or text in order and it creates all of the transitions for you.
