 * Purpose:** Our purpose as a team is to explore and use web 2.0 tools.


 * School Name and Grade Level**: The school name is Turkey Creek Elementary. This is an elementary school.


 * Classroom Architect**- Shows students how to create a floor plan. We selected this because we thought it was an interesting way to learn with the use of technology. This would be a good way of organization for students in organizing the classroom. Seeing an student's view of an ideal classroom would be an interesting art assignment.


 * Creately** : This webtool allows the ability to make fast diagrams and shapes. This would be a great tool for the teacher in which he or she has the ability to make diagrams on the fly or bring examples of figures in math class. This would be great for all teachers on any grade level.


 * Time Glider:** We thought it was a very creative way to present history to the students and make it very interactive. It allows it to seem more real to the students since they can visualize it. The abililty for elementary students to visualize a timeline and the events taking place would be good for elementary school.


 * Quizlet:** It provides a great way for students to study the material inside or outside of class and can help the teacher create a fun and easy lesson plan. Quizlet is a different type of flash card system. It would be a good way for elementary school students to develop study habits they will need in the future.


 * Story Jumper:** It is a webtool where the student can create his or her own story. We chose this because it would allow the student to see their own work and help their writing skills. Elementary school students are tested on their writing and many of them write in journals for practice, this would be a more technological way of getting the students ready for the TCAPS.


 * Cartoon Creator** : The student have the ability to create cartoons. We chose this one because it would be a new dimension of art to the classroom. This would be good for a rainy day when the students cannot have recess. The ability to deal with the arts is being left out of school.
