Instructables is an interesting tool we learned about today. It was a program that allows for teaching others how to do something. It also required pictures. I think it is similiar to Wiki how and I definitely plan on using Wiki's in the classroom with students. I am not so sure about Instructables.
We also learned about Corkboard, Facebook and other Social Networking sites like Twitter. I had always wondered how to use Facebook successfully in the classroom and today one of my fellow classmates showed us an example of how she uses it. She created a Facebook page completely separate from her Facebook, it was a fan page. She encouraged the students and their parents to like her page and they would get updates when she made an announcement or linked them to colleges and resources. I thought this was a fun way to include the family with little effort on the teachers part.
