Candace Hargraves's List: My Top Five Websites

This website is a great alternative to flash drives. It is very similar to Google Documents also because you can share files with other people. We are having kids save their work in class folders shared with their teachers here. Teacher comment on student work and return in by sharing it also. This is a great way to get started with going "paperless."

This is a fun place where students can make posters online. The kids love it because it is very easy to use, and teachers love it because it's so engaging to the kids. Lesson plan possibilities are endless!

I love tumblr for class projects like having students create a character blog (instead of a diary) after reading a novel or play. They can also use this website as a journal or reading log.

This a great step up from plain old PowerPoint. I love this website for class projects. The kids have a really good time making short presentations here! You can embed these presentations on most web pages. You can also find great presentations from other teachers and schools here.

This is a great website for brainstorming and mindmapping. It is useful in most subjects, and the kids love it!
