So I put my name on the list for the web 2.0 tool "jog the web". It is a tool that allows you to select websites based around your topic or teaching point and put them into one page.
It's very difficult to explain but I am experimenting with this tool and have found it very useful in the sense that the children don't have to search the bookmarks or type in an address as it is already there. They can go between all the websites you have chosen. I can see this being useful for group work e.g a math group doing decimals.
You could use it for topic based learning as well. Children could also make their own jog's to share their learning in different tools e.g. fotobabble, glogster etc
Have a look at my first jog on multiplication.

I like the idea! Could you choose a number of "safe" research sites for Juniors and they can move around within the "jog"?
