Some tech tools

Today some tech tools were discussed. One of those tools was Zamzar www.zamzar.com a neat converter for those times that you need a change in file type. Another was Penzu www.penzu.com penzu is a creative way of journaling online. It has a neat notebook paper look. The other was a favorite of mine Animoto www.animoto.com its a slideshow creator that is very cinematic. You can add music, text and pictures and it creates a unique slideshow. These tools were introduced by Region One Technology Integration Specialist Sandra Cadena to 23 Language Arts teachers at PSJA Memorial High School. The teachers were awesome they ran with all the tools introduced today. We also used some flipcams and had them create small video clips edited on Microsoft Movie Maker.

I was so positively moved today by Adriana's blog that I took a second look at blogger.com. I have an edublog but blogger has now become better with google on its side. Yay! Today during a Region One training I started brainstoring a way to get others on board with some Web 2.o tools. So here goes nothin!
