Thing 17

Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, how might it be used either in or out of the classroom?


I looked at all the options and played around with Knowtes, 30 Boxes, and Remember the Milk. All could be useful at home and at work. Of course, it's easy to just carry and keep a calendar or a detailed list. Still, the added features on these applications might make them more useful, and the more I depend on my computer, the more I'll these capabilities.

I made a web for my next unit in Mythology on Bubbl.us. I can see lots of uses for this feature. It's very easy to organize using this application, and the directions were reasonably easy to figure out. Students could use it as well. We do have online clustering tools on our computers at school, but this is another one we could consider.

I'd like to continue to explore all of these in the future, so again, having the 23 Things web site available even after Dec.12th would be useful. I must remember to at least copy all the titles of the sites and record their URL's because this information is too valuable to lose.
