This tool allows your images to "talk" in that you upload pictures, choose where you want to place a mouth and then choose your audio (phone, microphone,etc). Easy to use with laptop microphone. Great for word study, kids that need audio with text. Fun!

Glogster is a great Web 2.0 tool that I am using for the second year in my classes. Glogs are essentially online posters that allow users to display information in a different format than the traditional poster or powerpoint. Users can upload pictures, video, and audio, or they search glogster's database for relevant images, etc.

I was excited to see this free Web-conferencing tool. It can be used free to conduct a conference for up to 20 people - collaborative presentations, desktop sharing, chat, interactive audio, etc. Can use in conjunction with Skype. Benefit would be use in reaching students across various geographic locations. This tool could assist some students in feeling more connected to an online class by seeing actual desktops and the interactive audio.

Create multi-media slide shows that contain images, documents, and video. Comments can be left on each slide in 5 different ways. his could be use with students to create all kinds of presentations and ways to display their learning. They could video tape a science lab and then use this to narrate their learning as they go through the video. Teachers could use this tool to video their classroom and then collaborate with one another using this tool. The collaboration could take place with teacher from different districts, states, even countries.

Glogster.com - Poster yourself - Make your interactive poster easily and share it with friends. Mix Images, Text, Music and Video. It is fantastic!

This looks great! I heard about Glogster last year from one of my students, and am determined to learn how to use it this summer. My plan is to incorporate the use of Glogster in a class I teach this year, in place of a very traditional assignment to create a poster that captures students' greatest "ahas" from the class. This will not only create a better product- because of the links, video, audio etc., but will expose class members to a tool they may not have heard of.

This is a neat site by Jim Payne that allows students to see some new ideas for funk beats on the trap set. They are written out and can be printed, along with other related information. There are short video/audio tutorials that help demonstrate his beats.

Since we use Google Docs at our school, we can accomplish a lot of the same things that slideshare does, but I still think it's a valuable site for making collaborative slide presentations and sharing them online.

I use Slideshare quite often in order to take a PowerPoint presentation that I used at a face-to-face professional development session and place it for viewing on a website. It's quick and easy. I usually have a website for most of the professional development presentations I do with resources, etc. and so this just makes it very quick and easy to add the PP that I used also.

Dr Laura Riffel, expert in Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports provides everything for FREE to persons who access her site. This includes tools, stratgies, ideas, supports, and BLOG TALk RADIO (blogging with video and audio) about PBIS. The site provides resources for parents, teachers, administrators and students (about anyone who works with people with challenging behaviors). Both myself and my colleagues have attended one of her seminars and incorparate her teachings into our building. I have been tapping into her resources for several to use positive behavior interventions to work with our behavior focus students instead of the typical punishment system in place in most schools. I have also shared this resource with parents and paraprofessionals to help provide them with the tools to work with theor students. A great resource and easy to use for persons with limited background in behavior anaylsis and behavior modification training.
