Build Your Wild Self

Just wanted to post a fun site that I found. I think it could be used as a good story prompt for Fantasy writing! First the students create their avatar and then write an adventure, or a “How Molly got her wings” type story…Have students create multiple characters for their story! Too fun!

It is called Build Your Wild Self. Students could create fantasy creatures that look like themselves. It also gives you information about each of the animal features that you choose! Students could use this information for their story!

Here is my example!

Announced on the Google Student Blog, the Google Apps Bus just made a nation wide tour to many different College campuses to see how students were using the different Google Tools. Watch this video for more ideas for how to use Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Calendar and Google Talk.

Knol- Debates

Knol now has an area where people can debate current issues. The only debate that exists right now is on the Elections, but it is a great example of how people could use this site to debate current events, issues and ideas.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
