After looking at all of the sites, I think that I would most likely use classtools.net and alicechristie.org. With classtools.net, you can create free educational games, quizzes, activities and diagrams and host them on your blog, website or intranet. As a special educator, I use a lot if teacher created materials to supplement the curriculum. I really try to find sites that are interactive for my kids. This is a double bonus because not only is it interactive but they can be hosted on a blog which I plan to create for my department this year.
alicechristie.org is a site is dedicated to virtual field trips. I teach at a low income school and many parents cannot afford the cost of field trips. My students seem to be affected more than the comprehensive population. With this site I can take my students on virtual field trips or create my own field trip. The site utilizes tramline which is a site for educators to visit, develop, and discuss virtual field trips. The site hosts a wealth of virtual trips to museums, walking tours, and even the planets. I am excited about using this site for my students.
I liked classtools also there was so much there! I probably spent an hour playing. I have that site as a standby work/play site. It's like I did with Kerpoof, I signed them up and they learned how to work the site. Groups were responsible for teaching the class how to work a certain part of the site (providing step by step directions and writing paragraphs that tell how to). I didn't realize I could host it on the blog also. Thanks for that info!
