Tool #6 Using Web Tools to Promote Discussion in and out of the Classroom

Ms. Price's Choir Bulletin Board

Ms. Price's Technology Blog

I think both of these are very usable in my class.  The first, Wallwisher, gives students a chance to check on everything like announcements online as well as post questions for me about things if they forget some details about an event like a concert mentioned in class.

The blog is not just helpful for me but for the students as well because they can comment on my observations and make honest and helpful observations about whether they think a tool is useful in class or not.  I think their participation would be greater with a tool like this because although they would have a user name, they can be somewhat 'anonymous' when asking something or making a comment or suggestion.
