Voicethread

I checked out the voicethread today.  It's a really cool idea.  I especially like that you can draw on the picture as you're explaining something.  I would consider using this to explain a concept to my students and if possible post a link on my website.  To be truthful, though, I probably won't use it.  I don't think the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost.

Wiki

Well, I created my first wiki.  Fascinating.  I'm trying to decide if I want to use a wikispace or weebly for my class website.  It concerns me that my students can edit the page, but I also read that I can restrict who edits the website.  Any thoughts?  I like the freedom that I have with the wiki and it seems like I can do more with it, but I'm just not sure... 

The wiki is really basic.  But here you go!  http://bontragerbriefs.wikispaces.com/
