 * 1) Find five activities and/or software sites that could be used in my Tech 1, 2, or 3 class.
 * 2) Copy and paste the links to your Final page.

SECOND STEP: Investigate three of the sites below, and one game. Answer the questions for each site you investigate.
 * 1) Do recommend that we use this site/software in our tech class? Explain why or why not.
 * 2) Should I use this site/software in Tech 1, 2, or 3?
 * 3) Explain how I could use this site/software as a project.

Example: Picnik 1. Picnik is a great site that should be use in tech. It is easy to use and would be fun to use with Photo Booth and iPhoto. 2. You should use this site in Tech 1, because it is easy to use. 3. You could have students take pictures of themselves, then use Picnik to edit the pictures. They could improve or make the pictures funny. You could put the pictures in Comic Life when they are finished.

AIRPORT TYCOON One of the things i chose to do was Airport Tycoon. It was a fun game but it took a little while to catch on. It was fun to play but it didnt really have a point to it. I would recommend it to go under your bookmarks for all classes because it was fun to play but it didn't really have a point. You have to load passengers onto their planes and plan the routes you want the planes to take.

BUILD YOUR OWN ROLLERCOASTER I Didn't really like it. It wasn't very long or fun. You just add parts and then try to make them fear your coaster but apparently you cant make them fear it too much or they get pissed at you. I would not recommend this for any of your classes and it was not fun to use. You click and drag the pat you want to add to the end of your coaster.

OPENCITY I did not like this program. It was hard to install and was very boring. I do not recommend this to any of your classes. It was not fun to do and took a long time.

PREZI I do not really like it. I do not like things like this you could use it in tech 2 some may like it because you can do cool things with them.
