Wallwisher is a great site for using in science class or really any class you wish to get feedback from your students on. I think I may use it for nighttime homework: EXIT SLIPS are an excellent way to see any misconceptions, further inquiries students have, their understandings, thoughts, etc...

How can we make student self-organization more appealing? Pageflakes, googlesites and Moodlic are all fantastic ways that students can become more self-monitored both in organization and their own learning. Pageflakes is a great home page for students so that they can have their facebook, gmail, de.lici.ous bookmarks, calendar, translator, dictionary, universal video, news from various popular sites all on one page. Everything they would need is right there on one site with many more gadgets they can put on there. iGoogle is similar except you can place your Google Reader feeds right into your iGoogle page and your entire work platform is in one place. Students may like this more for those who like having their documents, google talk, email, calendar, reader and googlesites all in one place. With Moodlic they can upload their assignments and keep track of when assignments are due for each course at the middle school. Moodlic is more course oriented and could be helpful for students once a routine is set up for them to follow. I believe that self-organization has never been more appealing for students. Instead of just a plain old agenda and fallen out pages or forgetting assignments, they are also more accountable for getting their assignments in on time. No excuses for not doing so.
