Among all of the new Web 2.0 tools that I have browsed this past week, the one that I wanted to experiment with the most was Lino. (linoit.com).
I have created a few “canvases” with different purposes. My main canvas is for myself to organize ideas, resources, plans, and to-do lists for the courses that I teach and as well as other things in my life. I also created a Chemistry 7 site that I will continue to build. I plan on adding videos, interactivities, notes, pictures, and so on to this site. I will add this webpage to my Edmodo.com class site and all of my Science 7 students will be able to explore it as we go through the Chemistry unit.
I love this website as it is easy to use and the sticky notes are really fun. I think my middle school students will appreciate having resources clumped on a bulletin board for a change instead of in a blog format that they are used to.
Here is my main site:
