I used to use Wikipedia site very often, so I spent a lot of time navigating in this tool. Iit was awesome!
I found a web site that I am planning to use as a support for my Language Arts (English) Instruction that now is a link on my "favorites".
This Wiki program is going to be a great asset to our team building and planning. We can find a wealth of knowledge through this program that can benefit our students. I can see that all this information is open to be viewed in order for our students and our staff to share and learn.

Tool #5 Tagging and Social Bookmarking
While visiting this tool, I registered to del.icio.us thru my personal yahoo.com account. I am so impressed! This tagging and bookmarking system is going to be a big BOOM! in the educational process. I will be able to find different websites that I bookmarked. Then, having tags, it's going to be easier for me to have access to them. On the other hand I can share with my co-workers those websites to improve our teaching.
Only typing the words I need my students to develop a skill, it will help me to decide which website will help the best! For sure, I will continue using this amazing tool!
Apples4theteacher.com and vocabulary.com are two pages I will introduce to my students in order to help them develop different educational skills, especially to help them to improve English skills.
I LOVE ITTTT!!!!

Tool #4 Using Cool Google Tools to Share Information
I liked this tool very much! Although I have been using google to research a lot, I found this Google Docs very attractive! I think this tool will be helping me in saving paper, memory space in my computer, and the most important think is that I will be able to record important information about my student's progress and also I will be able to help my students improve their different skills.
In addittion to this, I will be in comunication with my team throught technology is occurring.
Google reader is another very good tool! I could find so many websites where I found some resources to apply in my teaching. A Math Game site is one of them. My students will love it. Since my students need a lot of practice on Math this web site is going to be very useful to help them to improve their skills.
I will be applying different websites from the subscriptions I registered.

Tool #3 Image Generators And Mashups
I found this tool very useful, because using Image Chef and Dumpr was a good experience to explore what I can do with my students in order to establish routines at the begining of the year while they have fun uploading pictures, writing and reding.
Just one think that I like to mention is that I created one of the image from the web site Image Chef that has movement and when I added it to my blog the scratch paper on the image didn't open.
There was a message in there. It's supposed to have written: Write in your journal: "What I learned today". However I can tell there is a lot of stuff I need to learn about this new age of technology. So, let's see what Tool #4 has for learning.

Tool #2 Building Community & Comments
I believe that being able to communicate and exchange experiences with other educators enables teachers to create a more successful and positive classroom environment.
Communicating with others using technology is a great way to close distance gaps that may exist. The impact that technology has nowadays on everyday life is tremendous and both educators and students must stay up to date and use it in every possible way to enrich communication which is so necessary between educator and student(s).
An important aspect of this new 21st century learning process is that we are not alone in it. For many people it implies learning new skills, new technology, but we all have a common goal: helping our students become successful.

Tool #1 Creating My Blog
I have found this tool very interesting. I was able to fly my mind which I found very funny. I was enjoying choosing diferent features from the bar tool. I know that our students are going to enjoy too doing their own blogs. I believe that as a teacher we have to improved every day the way that we teach.
