Review of Web Tools
 * 

Review #1: [|http://www.zamzar.com] - Free online file conversion  **

This is one of my favorite tools of all! Amazing! I’ve already used it for another class to convert a “.flv” file to a “.wmv” file which Windows Media Player will read. It’s like magic!

**Review #2:** [] **- Creates movies, or music videos, from pictures**

Fun, incredibly easy, and the movie looks great. All I had to do was upload some pictures, choose some music from their site and they did the rest.

**Review #3:** [] **- Google for Educators**

Wow! I never knew this existed. I changed my email account to a gmail account almost four years ago and am amazed at all the stuff they keep bringing to me.

**Review #4:** []

Woof!! Wolframalpha is incredible. I’ve been reading blogs where teachers are saying it does too much, but it doesn’t show its work!!

**Review #5:** [] - **Create your own social network**

I searched “mathematics” and found lots of networks. That’s how I found the Wolfram Alpha website. I have not signed up yet, but probably will…

**Review #6:** [] **- Organizer**

I love lists (or I’d never get anything done!) I’ve signed up to give it a try…

**Review #7: [] - Quizzes **

What a great site. I was able to create some really good quizzes on this site. I also liked the option of using a quiz that was already created.  **Review #8: [] - Voice Groups ** This is a very interesting site. I am not sure that I would use it in a math classroom at this time, but I think it would be great for personal use. It would be fun to send messages to my friends in other countries. An advantage might be that since in Kenya electricity is not always available, people can pick up their messages when they are able to connect to the internet. **Review #9: [] ** What a great resource. I love the long list of sites to explore. It also includes some games to engage kids in learning.

**Review #10: [] ** Another great resource I didn’t know about. (I used Youtube instead.) I’ve already used some of these movies for my classes.
