Make good use of an IWB by having students create stories and then show them to the class using it.  There are several great tools on this site.

Digital tools to use to interact with the LOC curated collections. Take a look at Citizen DJ, Newspaper Navigator, Speculative Annotation, and more! (rec by Torrey Trust)

very detailed description of all they have to offer

Great preso from several teachers at NCTE13 who share several tools they use for observations and data collection

 tool that allows for quickly and easily designing posters, signs, fliers and more, allowing for a variety of customizations with backgrounds, clipart, and text, while also allowing users to upload and use their own pictures.  My own high school kids have used it to complete one page posters referred to as visual book reports.  Their end products were printed for display purposes in the library, and used for visuals for book-talks done by both the librarians and the students. We even use them in digital frames that loop through pictures at our circulation desk, and students have responded to the "book-reports" created in Poster My Wall by checking out those titles.   The site does not require an account though that is an option, and those opting to use the free version can create professional looking posters and download for printing in minutes.  My school secretary was so impressed with the site she has even used it to create fliers for events and activities at school.   The site is easy enough for even elementary school students.  Like Wordle, my collaborating teachers are finding some very interesting uses for Poster My Wall. Cons?  It is not a replacement to Glogster by any means, but a poster app none the less. (Rec by Cathy Jo Nelson)

Several great ideas in Edutopia's summary of events.  Includes integrating technology, online learning and blended classrooms, teaching with new tools, video games in classrooms, and more.
