Wow! I feel like I have learned so much about technology just by completing this assignment. My topic I chose to conduct my resources around, was The Water Cycle. Under second grade on the ALEX website, number nine says to describe evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in the water cycle.
The first resource I completed was the concept map using https://bubbl.us/. I was familiar with this assignment because we had already completed a concept map earlier, so I went right to work with creating one about the Water Cycle.
The second resource was http://glogster.com in which I created a glog all about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. I feel like it took me a while to complete this resource, just because it was so detailed. I really was proud of it when I completed it and began thinking about how I could use it in my future classroom. http://www.glogster.com/megoslegos/evaporation-condensation-and-precipitation-the-water-cycle/g-6lpknjl829d6v5kr7d028jd
The third resource was Animoto. I had never heard of this site before, and was amazed by how user friendly it was. The 30 second video did not take that long to create, and I thought the quality of the video was pretty good too. I added pictures that went through the process of the water cycle and music to the video to make it fun to watch! http://animoto.com/play/6NenZPAN0rZ4HrTTOcjJXQ
I chose to use the site http://bighugelabs.com/ for my free choice resource. I really enjoyed this site and can see how it could be very useful in the classroom. I used three activites from this site. I used the Mosaic Maker, the Jigsaw Puzzle, and the motivation poster. I used the water cycle theme for all of the activites and they all turned out really cute! http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php

Great Web 2.0 Project! It was a great opportunity to learn and apply these types of technology in the classrooms!
