=Super Cool Wiki Tools=
----
//All of these work with blogs too!//
* Class Tools - [[http://www.classtools.net/|http://www.classtools.net]] -- I love having my students create video games and embed them on the wiki for review. (See the test I gave on Friday.) Also, the timeline feature is GREAT as are others.
* Jing Project [[http://www.jingproject.com/|http://www.jingproject.com]] - easy way to make embeddable video (like Eric on Math Train -- hint -- use with Microsoft One note and a tablet if you have one!)
* Google Calendar - [[http://calendar.google.com/|http://calendar.google.com]] - I embed all of my lesson plans on my student pages.
* Toondoo - [[http://www.toondoo.com/|http://www.toondoo.com]] - Cartoon maker
* MindMeister - for brainstorming - http://www.mindmeister.com/
* Bubbleshare http://www.bubbleshare.com/-- For making a "virtual refrigerator" of student work.
* Voice Thread - http://voicethread.com/ -- Voice and text photo albums -- a GREAT way to make digital portfolios for elementary age students.
* Poll Everywhere - http://www.polleverywhere.com/ -- Putting in a cell phone poll for live presentations but can answer online too. Gives you an alternative for polls, etc.

=Your Questions=
----
If you have a question, please post it here and we'll cover it if there is time. (Or Vicki will leave an answer here.)

Tanya: is there a place we can go to learn more about wiki text and what it does?
Tanya: How can we give kids usernames without them having to put in an email address in order to edit wiki pages?
Tanya: I'm thinking of my third graders, they will forget to put tags, is there a way when I create a template for an assignment, I can put the tags in so they will come up for every page a child does??
Tanya: At the end of the school year, what do you do with all of the wiki pages your students have created on your wiki? do you start a new wiki for the next year?
