Web 2.0 Tools -- Thing #18

Though I don't see my choice as much of a "tool," it is a really fun site to visit and has an idea I think we could definitely use in the classroom or library. The site I chose was from the "Fun Stuff" category of the Web 2.0 Awards: One Sentence.

One Sentence is about telling the best part of a story in the least amount of words. It's a cool idea. We could use the same idea in the classroom when we try to get kids to summarize or write stories. Get them to just write the most important part and work from that.

Reading the single sentences stories is very entertaining. And some of them might make good story starters for students.
