Many thanks for ‘blazing the trail’ for me – I’m going to give it a try – looks like some great potential!

I can’t wait to “play”. In the meantime, I’ve shared it with my NWP friends and on my site.

Keep it coming—as well as the possible apps for these tools.

Thanks!

Nice job!

Trailfire has really enabled me to share resources with other teachers in a more effective and engaging method. My goal now is to assist teachers to see how students can use Trailfire as a way to share knowledge instead of the traditional book report, etc.

Please share any trail links here that you create.

If you are interested in collaborating on trails, let us know here.

I downloaded the program into firefox but it seems to be having trouble loading up.
Shoot — I was hoping to actually create something this morning for my students to use this afternoon.

I am also thinking of the implications while teaching the research process with essay writing… the possibilities are endless! Great cool tool.

With all the information out there- Trailfire is a great organizing tool. Great presentation!

I plan on sharing it with my preservice teachers. I like how simple the tool is to use.
