Online Tool

I found the assignment in last class fascinating.  I never knew there were so many tools out there that were available for use.  Most of the tools were free but some with cost upgrades.  I found it really helpful to go through some of these tools and just start exploring what was out there.  While we did have some issues with some of the tools, I could see the use for several of these tools in a classroom.  Even if you as a teacher did not have access to a lot of technology, these tools could be used to as extensions that students could choose to explore at home.  I also had the thought that because there were so many different tools to choose from just on this one website that you could find a tool that for everyone.  One tool may help a couple of students but not others.  There were so many different options that you could explore to find just the right tool for students.
