1st Website:http://popplet.com/
I had to make myself stop playing with this site, so I could move on to my other 2 and work on the rest of our assignments. This would be great in the library or classroom for brainstorming, collaboration, and even presentations. I made one that shows my family. I know it is rare, but I actually come from a family of 10. My parents wanted a large family when they got married and I have 4 brothers and 5 sisters. We are all very close and I always get asked what it is like coming from such a large family. It is awesome! You automatically have 9 best friends. I can not imagine what it would be like without them. This would be a fun way to start the year off as an icebreaker if students each created a popplet about themselves and you can even add images. I will definitely be using this site during the school year!
It took me some time to play with this one and figure out what it does, but I finally figured out that it is another way to blog. Students and teachers can create images (like my son above) and lists (like the one here of some of my favorite books). They can also create articles, upload videos, and make slideshows and share them through twitter, email, or Facebook. People can follow them on the site and they can embed it into other blogs or websites. In the classroom or library this site could be used as a way to journal or to present projects. Also, teachers and librarians could use it to advertise popular books and share new classroom project and library resources and events.

Wow! This site would be great in the Science classroom! There are games, lesson plans, videos, images, and more. The students in our lesson plan we worked on earlier this semester would have loved using this as they researched classification. The site has an extensive collection of research on different species. You can research them by classification, location, conservation status and more. I would definitely recommend this to science teachers to use in daily lessons and for research projects. As the librarian, I could use this as a resource for teacher and students and for lessons where I collaborate with the teacher. Awesome site!
