Cool Search Engines

My favorite Search Engine is Google!
I especially LOVE Google Maps! CLick here to see our town!

But there are others out there... too many!

KartOO has a neat mapping feature: http://www.kartoo.com/

Blogging for Teachers

Blogs are a way to quickly post information for others to read quickly and from anywhere!

http://www.blogger.com is one of the more common sites.

Another public place to blog is at http://www.myblogsite.com/. I don't have much experience with this one yet but I am playing! (The first one: Blogger.com seems easier...)

Recently I found a landmark project offering bogs for teachers where you can have students submit their posts and you proof before they post!

Wiki

Wiki is yet another type of online publishing. Once you have a wiki page (create a user account and the whole thing is free) you can edit your page with an edit buttion. Your changes are instant. Everyone in the world who knows your address can see it.

Wiki is wiki scari! The Scari part is that EVERYONE else can click that edit button too! It could be Wiki Cool!

Here is JUST ONE wiki site - I don't have one I endorse yet...
