Today in class we learned about several websites online that provide fun digital content that can be adapted for the classroom.
Examples include the following:
1. Meet.com
2. Mosaickr.com
3. Cartoon Yourself
4. Prezi
5. Voki
6. Xtranormal.com
7. Goanimate.com/
8. Answergarden.ch/
9. Wallwisher
Digital content is a GREAT way to keep students motivated and change up the daily routine. It would not be beneficial or even appropriate to use any of these resources on a daily basis; however, implementing these tools on a weekly basis will keep the content alive and interesting, motivating my students to learn.
In my classroom I plan on definitely using Wallwisher and Motivator.
With Wallwisher, students can leave me anonymous feedback or ask questions that were not asked during the school day. Therefore, I will embed Wallwisher onto my blog as another form of communication between me, my students, parents, and anyone else.

With Motivator, I will be able to create posters of my students and match them with motivational text. To boost self-confidence, I will post them not only on my blog, but around my classroom. Another fun activity that my students can do is create their own motivational posters when doing a report on a person or a geographic location.
Below are two examples of posters that I made myself.
