The Delicious site

The site is okay for people who use the Internet a lot. I don't spend much time on the computer so it doesn't benefit me. I won't use the site because I don't frequently visit the same websites over and over. I guess when I get more in to browsing things on the web it will be a good tool, but until then I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing.

SPREADSHEET

After using spreadsheet I found that it makes things way easier. If I need to make some type of chart I just type in my data and spreadsheet does the rest. Teachers use this tool to help average grades, to organize their lesson plans, and to stay prepared. Overall I think that spreadsheet is a very helpful tool.

Inspiration In The Classroom

On the Inspiration website I found many tools and techniqyes used to assist students in structure and preparation. I love the library option because it allows students to type in keywords and then provide those students with a lot of choices. I would definitely use Inspiration in my classroom because it gives students confidence in their work. Even if they were a little confused at first, Inspiration gives them that little extra push they need to complete the assignment without the embarrassment of asking public questions.

Writing activities that require students to do brainstorming and prepare diagrams would fit the Inspiration based classroom best. It gives studens the opportunity to revise and edit their papers and to change simple vocabulary terms into more advanced ones. In light of teaching time being limited I would organize peer editing groups where students get with other classmate and take and offer suggestions that will improve the writing assignments.
