Web+2.0

One of my absolute favorite web 2.0 tools is Storybird. It has the potential to be used by all ages and groups. It also allows students to create their own personal story using pictures. For my age group (4-6 yr olds), students can put the pictures in order and then dictate the story to an adult who can type it into their book. It is also great because they can have their parents access their story at home. [|Storybird]. Students can create their own books. For students in my classroom could create books based upon a letter of the week. Students can also use this website to create an imaginative story.

Another great website I found that is educational is[|Kidopo]. This web 2.0 tool offer educational math games such as the ability to organize numbers in order with missing numbers, counting numbers, and identify the different object. It also has them sort and count. It also is bright and colorful which will keep my kids engaged longer. They also offer coloring and basic board games which work on a number of skills with Kindergarten aged kids, such as problem solving and sharing. They also offer a variety of word games as basic as letter hunt to spelling CVC words and blending to create words.

The third web2.0 site that I found is [|Caterpillar Math]. It is terrific for math as well. It has students putting the order in sequential order, discusses ordinal positions, counting backwards, etc. It has an activity for all of the Kindergarten skills we are working on and it differentiates for the students. Some students amy only be working on 1-5, others 1 to 20, but they have games for both skill sets.
