===[|www.wordle.net]-- Pretty much creates word collages. It allows students to be creative and use their individuality by creating it and picking the color, text, and words. The only thing is that I don't know how useful this would be in the classroom: 2 because it would be a neat thing to use but it seems pretty simple (not challenging) and I don't see how this could be used in the classroom very much.===

===[|www.slideshare.net]-- This website is desgined for people to post their presentations on the web. The website was not very specific, and I don't think the students would get very much out of it other than allowing other people to view their work: 3 because it would be a good idea to be able to post any presentation you want and to be able to view any of your classmates at anytime, but I don't feel like this is the best way to go about it. The website still seemed pretty vague.=== ===[|www.polleverywhere.com]-- This website allows students to create polls for everyone to answer and be involved in your presentation: 4 because this tool could really be used for students AND for the teacher. It allows the students to get involved and recieve feedback as well.=== ===[|www.toondoo.com]-- This website gives the students an opportunity to create their own cartoon. They can create everything about their cartoon including their characters and the actual dialogue of the comic: 4 because it allows the students to create their own cartoon and use technology while doing it. It could be a fun tool for students to express what they know and have learned. Then once they are done making it, it can be presented to the class. I really liked this site.===

===[|www.classblogmeister.com]-- This website gives the students opportunity to explain what they have been learning and express what they feel about it as well as show off how much they know in a blog. Anyone who is a member of the website can view what you have written. This could be a good tool in the classroom: 4 because students could use this as a way to show their parents what they have been learning. There could be lots of different reasonings behind the blog that could be a benefit to the class and student.===
