Technology and Resources

Technology Components:

1. Bubbl.us concept map: (see larger version in post #3 "Webbing")

2. Google Docs: I created a table in Google Docs to organize the benefits that different programs list about using baby sign language.

I also used the new Google Docs Presentation feature to create a slide show for my final product.

3. Delicious: I created a "stack" of annotated links in Delicious.com. I used this tool to organize my online resources into one place so I could easily refer to them throughout the inquiry.

4. Digital Camera: I used a digital camera to take short videos of my daughter signing.
