1) Webquest - http://coe.west.asu.edu/students/lbeloat/egyptproject.html //This is a very simple webquest that could be easily created using myteacherpages and adapted to suit your resources and learning objectives.// 2) Blog - //your class could setup an Ancient Egypt blog as the persona of various pharoahs from the times. They would write their blog posts based on specific criteria (such as major events during their rule, their tomb, etc.). Their blogs could contain dialogue, pictures, maps, etc., and other students would be able to ask questions of the pharoahs through blog posts (this would further drive the research).//

Fluency Letter & Sound Recognition Sight Word Recognition Shapes Symmetry Handwriting || **__web 2.0__** Kindergarten Blogcasting - there are a few examples of podcasting being used to in the Kindergarten classroom which have been very successful. You could store the audio recordings on a blog located on your myteacherpages that would highlight the students' work. You can download [|audacity] which is free software that allows you to easily record the students' voices using a simple computer microphone, then save it and upload the file to the myteacherpage blog. We could also look up some other web 2.0 tools that might make it more streamline to listen to the podcasts (likes players and skins), as well as a way to create a podcast broadcast. I think that the podcast could help share experiences and resources with parents. You could even create your own podcasts for students to practice skills at home with parents.... like an alphabet podcast!
