The last web 2.0 tool I used was blabberize.com. This tool was also fun and I had fun creating my video. With this tool I was able to have someone else record their voice and "be" the person I choose. I would have my students work with this tool as it is a fun tool and yet can be educational. They would be able to download a picture of their famous person and say something about that person as I did with mine. You can choose a mouth and set it where the mouth should be and then record what you want to say. Overall, I would recommend all of these web tools.

QR Codes
The next web tool I decided to use was creating QR codes using the website www.qrstuff.com. This one was fun because I created my QR code first choosing the data type I wanted to use, which was a web link, then I added the content and finally I chose the output; whether I wanted to print, email, or download it. I had fun with this tool as I kept scanning each QR code with my phone and thought it was so cool to see it automatically took me to the link. With this tool I decided to create a QR code using a website for famous historic and current people that will describe that person. Student can see a biography and read more about that person. I would probably print the QR codes and put them around the room and have the students scan it and see who the person is. Another activity I would do with the QR codes, using the pictures they would scan the QR code and they would need to match the picture to the biography.

Wordle
Wordle
I actually had a little bit of a hard time trying to add Wordle to my website. I did not actually think wordle would be as difficult to work with as I thought. I created a wordle and did not realize right away that I would not find it so I had to create another one. Even though I had some trouble with this tool, I still think it is a fun web tool and will still use it. I created a wordle with famous current and historic figures names on it. This lesson would be a lesson for 5th grade students where they will be able to use wordle to review the names of famous historical and current figures. They will be able to create their own wordle and print it out to go along with their picture of their person they will be researching which will go on a poster board.
