Potential Web 2.0 Tools for lessons

Timeline tool: Student could propose a timeline for their promotional schedule. Including the elements of the schedule, when promotions will be released, evaluated, feedback provided, etc.
Possible medium:
·         xTimeline (http://www.xtimeline.com/index.aspx)
- Web-based tool, does not require email validation to use. (For privacy reasons, this is a good feature – does not require students to submit their personal or student email to any third party websites)
- Allows authors to choose who can see, edit, comment on and access the timeline
- Timeline is simple and clear to follow, and relatively easy to make with some guided instruction
·        

Reflective blog: To track students progress through their project. Allows for teacher to see where students are with the project, and monitor progress, providing feedback where helpful and necessary.
·         Glogster (http://www.glogster.com/)
- Creates blog in poster form
-  Each student can choose design and content elements for individuality
- Allows teacher to follow student progress and provide feedback
