Hey, I am a student studying education at the University of South Alabama. I LOVE the tools that you have provided in this blog. I believe that students would benefit a lot from using the myhistro to make timelines and maps for history/social studies. These are tools that I plan on adding into my resources folder for my future elementary classroom. I also thought the idea of providing students with the free private online diary would also be a way for students to write their own thoughts in a private manner. It would be a creative way to give students the opportunity to learn how to express themselves through writing and elevate writing skills. I am unsure how I would use this particular tool in my own classroom though? Could I view what the students were writing since it is private? Thanks for any additional feedback!
