=Liz Ferguson= Curriculum Based Website Figment Screencast Figment is a web based social site that utilizes the sharing of different books with your friends. The member can share their own written works as well as read what others have shared. It also gives you the ability to tag your story so that others who might be looking for a specific type of story they can find you by the tag words that you have set up. This can be used as a great classroom tool for the students to share the books that they have read or to ask other members about certain books.

Scholastic Share

Share what you are reading with others by giving an online book review or read reviews written by others across the country. It is a secure site for even young students. I like that you can search in two types of reviews that you want to search one is by Genre and the other by grade level. This could be a great tool to use in English I when they are trying to pick a book for their next book report!

Rachel Rodrequez Kidz Zone Graphmaker This would be a great site for my kids to create different types of graphs. I could have them keep track of the grades and turn it into a graph so that they can see how they are doing over time. I could also see them using it for Math 1 class.

Tiesa Smith Purdue Online Writing Lab I already use this site for my students who have written language goals in their IEP's. It is a great site for students who need help with their writing.

Traci Mattis Readability Traci has done a great job showing how we can use this tool to better serve our students who have focusing problems. I think this would be very helpful to teach my kids with ADD or ADHD or any other type of focusing problems.
