Tech&Learning Web Sites

These web sites were showcased in the latest edition of Tech&Learning online and in its current magazine.


Boom Writer
Interactive story starter web site.  Engages great writers and reluctant writers by allowing the teacher to create a story starter for a chapter of a book, sharing it individually with each student online, and then the students finishing the starter story to create their own chapter.  The students then share it back to the teacher who then shares each individually story anonymously with the rest of the students to vote on which story they think is the best.

TimeSearch
Search year timelines for information on all areas/subjects.  So for instance when you click on the year you were born you would see the discoveries, inventions, people born, people deceased and more during that time.

Smore Pages
Similar to Glogster where interactive posters can be created.  These interactive posters can included embedded videos, web sites links, additional resources and more to make the poster vibrant when printed or vibrant and interactive when showcased online.
