Intro to Instructional Technology - blog #3

Flickr - Google - Pandora - Skype

I really enjoyed all of the above sites and would easily be able to incorporate them in the classroom. Google of course is a great resource that includes different tabs or searches such as "Google Scholar". I use this when writing research papers.

Flickr is a great interactive, creative site that all students could get involved with. You can create collages, posters, compile photos from a class field trip, etc.

Pandora is a music site where you can type in a certain song, artist, genre, and than Pandora chooses music to play that is similar to what you chose. This would be great to have playing in the background while students are working on group projects. The students can have input on what music they want.

Skype is a great way to keep in touch with family, friends, or for the classroom possibly an international friend. Classrooms can communicate to eachother, you could even use it to work on group projects without leaving home!
