Accounts around the Web toc

I made that list on another page of websites I use personally and in the classroom. I thought I'd make a list of accounts I have for my classroom, with a brief description of what I use them for.

=Blogger= I used to use blogger as our blogging tool, until I came across the problem with https access. We had two blogger blogs, one for [|normal] "what we are doing in class" posts, and one for [|writing].

=[|Edublogs]= We have now moved to Edublogs, as they don't use https in their signin policy. We only have the one Edublogs blog, and it's the writing one. Any "what are we doing" posts / information goes onto our Wiki now. The children can log in at home and add stories if they want to.

=[|Wikispace]= The wikispace is a topic and publishing tool at present. I update it when we do something in our topic that is easily shared. I hope to be able to use it to share videos and so forth eventually, but right now it's mainly brainstorms and interesting information we have come across. There are also some published poems there. The children do not use this at present except to look at.

=[|Tutpup]= The whole class is signed up with this, they all have their own usernames and logons, and it's a math and spelling site where they can compete real time against people from all over the world. A record of their scores is kept and I am able to keep an overview of how often they log in and play games. They can use this from home as well as from school.
