At my December PLC meeting, I shared some web 2.0 tools that may be great tools for teachers and students to use with reading in a variety of ways. Some of these web 2.0 tools include http://www.prezi.com/, an alternative to powerpoint presentations; http://www.googlelittrips.com/, a way to teach where stories take place by using GoogleEarth; www.voki.com, a way to introduce a character in a favorite book or a way to start a book talk; and www.wordle.com, is a way to make word clouds to illustrate main idea and supporting details or a way to illustrate main characters and minor characters and much more. All of these allow for student creativity and differentiated instruction. If you would like help with these tools, contact me.
