#22 & #23 Discover...Ebooks & Audiobooks

Ebooks and Audiobooks are a pretty good tool to use, I don't think that I would personally use them particularly Ebooks as I find that they take a while to upload. Audiobooks are great to have for those who have a disability. I don't think it would be good to bring Audiobooks into a classroom as I believe it is best to encourage young people to read more rather than just hear the words. Ebooks however, could be a handy tool for students when it comes to researching etc.

More Youtube videos

More Youtube videos

This one's pretty funny as well, I love the part when he puts the socks in his ears lol


#21 Online Video

OMG Youtube is so much fun, I love using it. I added this video coz I think it's funny, it's of Mr Bean when he goes to the swimming pool. I found it through one of the links you provided of Rowan Atkinson-School Mater, thanks.

I like using Youtube coz u can pretty much find any sort of video that you may be interested in as well as posting your own videos. One of the negative aspects of youtube can be that some people may find certain videos offensive.I don't think that youtube would be a good tool to use in the classroom as it would be difficult to keep track of what the students are looking up, however you can find educational videos on there.

#20 Podcasts

I found some really fun podcasts to listen to, I enjoyed listening to this particular podcast that spoke about tv shows and went over past episodes (i listened to a review of an old Dawson's creek episode, i love this show lol), however I couldn't find the RSS feed to add...oh well lol. I found this podcast randomly, and often I find the hardest thing to do is find particular podcasts that I would be interested in.

I definetly would listen to more podcasts in future as there are always new and interesting topics to find on there. Thanks for providing the links to some sites with podcasts, that helped :)

#17 Delicious

Delicious can be a handy tool to use for research purposes as well as looking up topics that may interest you. I have used Delicious briefly in the past while at uni as there were links put up for us to use when researching, however I didn't use it as often as I shouldhave. I think there are alot of similar types of tools like delicious out there, so I proberly would only use one or two of these sites.

#19 Rollyo

I think Rollyo would be a great tool for a school teacher to use, as they would be able to create a search roll based around a particular sunject. It would have all the information that the studunts would need on there.

It's also good to just sit on the computer and explore sites that you may not have known existed.

Here's the link to mine, enjoy:
