The DIY online club awards badges (called 'Skills' on the site) to students and kids of all ages in exchange for completing tasks. DIY Makers share their work with the community and get patches for the Skills they earn. Each Skill consists of a set of Challenges that help them learn techniques to get the hang of it. Once a Maker completes a Challenge, they add photos and video to their Portfolio to show what they did.
Free, online CAD software with a blocks-based design familiar to Scratch users. Simple idea, yet mastery requires students (or adults) to understand and apply some serious math and engineering concepts.
Free software lets students design games in Flash or iOS modes. Games can be tested in iDevices or in Stencyl Lite software (Mac only for testing software; all platforms for design). Subscription allows submission to iTunes store.
Great collection of resources for anyone interested in starting an after-school programming club for kids in upper elementary. Lesson plans, student tasks, much more!
Site lets teachers post a question online. Students then respond via webcam (no account required) and have their (moderated) comment added to a really great-looking video wall online. Site does cost $65 annually, but that includes 10 walls and virtually endless questions/responses.
Useful tool lets you upload PowerPoint or Keynote presentations and then share as a link. You can then insert polls or questions and get real-time feedback from students/viewers.
Site lets users create interactive maps of any location. Users add pins, then share stories or information, images, etc. Could be a good tool for students learning about historical places, local communities, etc. Also a good tool for writing short expository texts.
