Scribble Maps

My experience with Scribble Maps was not pleasant. I, of course, used the free version. That may be the issue, but the same ad continued to reload in place of my map. I had to use the back button probably 20 times to zoom the map in and try to scribble the words, 'my school'. I will not use scribble maps unless I can see the cost benefit of buying the upgraded version.

World History Toon

I like the simplicity of creating a cartoon on toondoo. It took some playing around with, and I kept it pretty simple, but I can see the potential of such a digital story.

Feedly

There are 3 main benefits I see with having an RSS feed:
  1. RSS can deliver current information from the Internet in our areas of expertise or interest.
  2. RSS can provide content for websites and blogs.
  3. RSS can bring additional traffic to a website or blog.

Number 1 would be the important to a user such as myself, but for big time bloggers, number 3 may be a more attractive reason...

Google Docs

Google Docs is an awesome way to keep all of you documents in one place where they can be retrieved from any location. I love it!

Delicious.com

I can see the benefit to using delicious, but I don't think I use enough websites for this to be of benefit yet. Maybe in a couple years this will help. I can see more use of the networking side of it between all the Social Studies teachers at my school...

Glogster

I can see the real world application for such a website, but not having preloaded images and videos put me at a disadvantage and limited my flexibility with content...
