Talk about a playground. . .

I could have spent hours more on this, but I must call a halt.  I visited Wordle to make a goodbye page for an album.  I spent more than a few minutes trying to make a talking dog on Blabberize, but I have to review instructions again.  ToonDoo was great fun for making cartoons, and one you might use to help teach visual literacy skills.  I have visited LetterPop briefly and made a quick newsletter, but it was not immediately apparent how to embed/link to one.  There was some mention of workshops which dealt with embedding and other skills in the FAQs, but I could not find any other information. I will probably use PollDaddy to make a survey regarding summer reading, and Quizlet will certainly be useful, both to teachers and to students for obvious reasons.

Once more distracted. . . I revisited Quizlet to look at the social features.  All quizzes seem to be available, but there are ads within the quiz lists.  Also there is a link to brain training games on the Luminosity site.  Word Bubbles is fun to play and aids in developing/improving mental fluency.

All of these sites have the capacity for editing or commenting by others.
