These sites look like they’d be great for students. I could see using them for studying parts of speech and grammar. Teachers could also use these for projects on novels, short stories and poetry. Additionally students could use these for vocabulary workds. I see lots of possibilities. Museum Box has several school projects on the site. Time Rime could work whenever a timeline could be used in a class. Wordle could work with the parts of speech and vocabulary words, haikus and other poems. As a teacher you’d need to have a good example and good explanations of what you want so that the students understand the requirements and the technology. Some of the sites allow you to add video and audio which can expand the uses of these sites for the classroom. I’m going to show these to a language arts teacher I know. She’s always looking for things that are “outside of the box” to do with her students.

Great point about being prepared and knowledgeable about such tools as a teacher…it’s not good enough to just believe something is engaging…you have to put it to a thoughtful use with students.
