is a new tool for creating online slideshows. The nice feature about it is that it’s designed to easily grab videos, images, and websites (among other things) off the web to incorporate in the presentations.
" is a new Animoto-like service that lets you upload several short videos and it then somehow "recognizes" the most important parts and turns it into a magically-produced one minute video. It's still invitation-only, but I got one seconds after I requested one."
"Broadcastr is a new site that lets you record audio for up to three minutes and then "attach" it to a map location. It also gives you the url address of your recording. This"
"lets you create a virtual tour of just about anyplace on a map. You type in addresses or locations and easily create multiple "stops" that show the Google Street View snapshots of the area. You can also upload your own images. But that's not all. What really makes GeoTrio stand out is the ability to easily make an audio recording for each stop on the map."
"Little Bird Tales lets you easily make slideshows where you can add text and, more importantly for English Language Learners, provide an audio narration. On nice touch is that you can virtually paint/draw artwork in addition to uploading images (unfortunately, the site doesn't have the ability to grab photos off the web by url addresses). It's free to use, but I'm unclear on if there will be an eventual cost to use the site. It appears to have an upper limit on the number of shows you can produce."
"you still need an invite to use it- that lets you create what you could call interactive slideshows. In some ways, I might describe it as a more sophisticated Prezi that's easier to create and less confusing to watch."
"ease in creating albums where you can title individual photos and write captions - all without registering. Students can categorize photos and describe them."
This in similar to dumpr in terms of the special effects it allows you to create.
