Similar Sites

By Anonymous -

Have you ever searched for just the right tool to use with your students?  Do you get tired of searching, and searching, and searching. . . . ?

For example, I love using Wallwisher and Bubbl.us with my students, but I need something that offers easier collaboration.  
I recently discovered a tool called Similar Sites.  This was super useful to me.  


Similar Sites will find websites that are just like the one you enter into the search box.  It will then give you a list of similar sites.  Each results has a similarity rating to help you find a tool that closely matches the one you already use.

Here is a screenshot of my search for sites similar to Bubbl.us.

Here is what Similar Sites says about themselves:

"Because it's all about choice, SimilarSites.com helps you find alternatives. Don't scroll through countless search results - SimilarSites makes finding content related to your current search absolutely effortless. Simply enter a web address and instantly you will receive high quality results - based on content examination rather than popularity."


Similar Sites is all about finding new web 2.0 tools and websites that I don't already know about, because that is what I love to do!



Last thing: for you techy people, there are browser extensions for Similar Sites!

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
