This is a great website...something that can be put on my MHS website and there for the students to use all year. I could even introduce a class project and let them pick the "coolest tool" to allow them to present the material.
I really enjoyed the "Songza" tool. What a cool idea for kids to research songs about the 1960s protest movement and Vietnam. Also, "Hot Potatoes" was a neat idea to have the kids use games to help them present and review the material. "Quibblo" was also a good tool to have the kids use technology to interact and share material.
This is definitely something that can be used down the road.

Wordle
As is often the case with these new technology tools, I was at first intimidated by Wordle. However, when looking at the process and the finished product, what a cool idea. This can be used for brainstorming at the beginning of a unit or for a chapter/unit review. Perhaps we could even use it for the upcoming exam review as a class activity. It also outputs a nice fun thing to look at and keep and I think the kids would enjoy using it. Cool concept.
