This tool was very interesting! Although I didn't like recording my voice, I can see how it could be beneficial to offer help to someone you are connecting to online such as a student or colleague.

Online Image Editing

Adobe Photoshop Express was very enjoyable to work with online. This tool was completely new to me. I like the fact that albums can be stored online and shared with others. The edit and customize tools were a lot of fun!

SlideRocket

Launch your own SlideRocket presentation!

SlideRocket is an awesome tool to create and upload online presentations. I was able to upload my presentation straight from PowerPoint. The only adjustment I had to make was copying the slides as images. When I uploaded it at first, my slides were changed slightly from the originals. However, upon farther research, I discovered it worked better to just copy the slides as images instead. This way I had the original presentation that I created. This tool could prove very useful in sharing information with your students & parents via a blog or website.

"How can a leader of instructional technology use a blog?"

A leader of instructional technology can use a blog in many ways. It could be used to communicate the availability of the latest technology purchases made by the district. Troubleshooting tips could also be posted to save time and provide assistance to all. In the end, blogs could prove be a great tool to foster collaboration and team work among staff members.
