• This experience was a great review of the materials we have covered so far in this class. I was able to look back and see some sites from clear back at the beginning of the semester. It also gave me a chance to look at each site from a different angle, that I was not using the site but rather finding why other teachers may like using the site.

• I think each of these sites are sites that I will use as a teacher in my own classroom. Some seem like they will have many uses in my class and some only have one use. I think prezi will be a lot of fun to present new information to my class. It seems easy, creative and very interesting.
