Web 2.0 Wiki Project

WEBSPIRATION CLASSROOM The Web 2.0 tool that I have chosen is “Webspiration Classroom.” mailto/www.mywebspiration.com. It is part of the “Inspiration Classroom” group of products, and is a mind-mapping tool. I signed up for a free trial and was able to quickly create two diagrams that I could use with some of my students. (See attached.)

WHY I CHOSE THIS TOOL I chose this particular tool because the use of social stories, utilizing words and pictures, can be very helpful for students with special needs to learn things like what happens when they make good or bad choices, the steps for how to wash their hands, and how they need to keep their shoes on. Diagrams could be created for the specific needs of each child.

HOW OTHERS COULD USE THIS TOOL This diagram tool would also be helpful to teach ESL students because they could follow logical steps to learn something more easily with pictures combined with words. Also, though, this tool could be used by students themselves to create diagrams for projects.
