Tool 3

I was very impressed how easy it was to use these tools! I expected a lot more trouble. I can't wait to explore these tools some more to find highly effective ways to use them in the Pre-K setting - perhaps it would work to have the children chose an "avitar" that they could use when we graph and they are marking their selection. I think that the book making feature would be a fantastic tool to use with the children in my class. It would be a great resource to show children that they can be an author and illustrator even if they don't like their drawings. I think in older grades, some of the features could be used as word searches or as team emblems. The more I practice, the more confident I become in the process!
