Wow.... class went by quick. Being busy at school and home sure makes your head spin. I look forward to having a little more time over winter break to play with some of the sites we used in class, as well as another site I found during class. I was looking for a fun way to get kids to write. Prezi is defiantly high up on the list in my eyes, but I also found Pixton.com, which is a really, really cool drag and drop comic strip website. Best part is individual accounts are free, although you can sign up as a teacher and get a class in for about $50 if my memory is correct.
It is also interesting to listen to the reviews of all of the keen gadgets out there. The one that I really thought was super cool was actually when Louie pulled up that printer that would scan an insane about of paper into PDF files in a short time. I see this as being the future. The only problem is, all of the digital book readers can't change the font size on PDFs like they can with digital books. You can zoom in, but then you have to scroll left to right in addition to up and down to read it. I want a hand held device that will allow me to zoom in and adjust the number of pages, just like a digital book does. Then, I would be the first in line to buy one. I've got a TON of PDFs. Does anyone out there use a Kindle, Nook or other device that can comment on how PDFs look on them?
