Favorite Online Tools Part 3-1


     

     What a way to end the day.  It’s a new night, so I thought that I would highlight another online tool to use.   I know that everyone has their own favorite online tools that they like using.  There are so many out there that there are often ones that get forgotten about, or left out because there is not enough time during the day, so I thought that I would highlight some of the ones that are most useful in the classroom and other places. 
            So last night I introduced you to http://www.classtools.net/ .  Tonight I want to highlight one of my favorite resources on there.  Twister.  No, not the game, but a fake tweet generator.  http://www.classtools.net/twister/You plug in a person’s name, give them a nickname, pick a time (or date) and then you are able to make up your own date.  Now, it use the name you picked and find a picture from the internet that you use as your profile picture.  After first, this may not seem like a helpful tool, but using it for history projects.  Imagine using this to tweet our Caesar’s conquest of the Gaul’s from his point of view.  Students would really need to understand his point of view and events that happened to complete the project.
