Web Tools Used :

1.) ** Glogster ** Glogster EDU Premium is a collaborative online learning platform for teachers and students to express their creativity, knowledge, ideas and skills in the classroom.You have to sign up for it. This is the first time I used it and I will introduce this cool site to my students. It is safe and private environment for the teachers and students.  **What I liked most is the use of interactive posters for lessons and colloborative class projects for students. **

 2.)** Voki.com **  **The first time I used it was in EDU 604- Computer and technology class. **    You have to sign up for it. What is the purpose of this tool? Create an avatar to use in motivating students to participate, nourish their creativity, personalize your relationship with students, and possibly help in learning different languages. It is very useful for the students and helps them understand a concept in a new creative way.  The only downside seems to be time allotted for messages (60 seconds max), and it’s only used as a starter to an activity, but not the class activity itself unless you make several avatars.
