Today through this assignment i discovered a web tool called Blerp. This at first struck me as a strange tool to try to use in a classroom setting, and then it hit me! I could use this web tool for any child who wanted to research a topic, with or without my assistance, depending on the age of the children. This web site allows you to call up and website that has a URL(all of them) and simpley comment on them. So my idea was to have a child who is researching a topic take notes on this web site. Obviously anyone in class could use this tool but i'm currently just thinking children with special needs. If a child doesn't have legible hand writing, or for some other reason cannot take nots or do reasearch this is the perfect tool for you
Check it out for yourself and be amazed-------> http://www.blerp.com/browser/index
Good ideas for using Blerp. It is sometimes hard to see the application for classroom use until we sit back and think about it for a minute. Pretty soon you'll be using it in all sorts of ways.
