Prezi - The zooming presentation editor - 4 views
-
I found this website to be very confusing to use. It doesn't seem like it would be very appropriate for young children. There is a chance that a teacher could use it in a early childhood classroom, but overall, most children that young would have a hard time listening to a presentation, even if it was a cool one. Also, Prezi costs money to use so that is definitely a draw back. However, if you were a college professor or even high school teacher, Prezi may be worth the money. -
Madelyn, you are right- this is not for use by young children. It is a new type of presentation tool which shifts from the typical slideshow type presentation to one that organizes all of the information components on a single document, and allows the presenter to zoom in on sections of the content, and particulars, to help share ideas. There is a free download version available, which is the one I have started to explore. For example, I have documented the development of our use of Diigo in early childhood settings, and created an image map. That is not visually interesting/accessible when shared as a whole, but might be transferable into a Prezi document which would be. We will see...

This is better than totlol because it's free :) Part of KidZui, I like the searching, browsing, and channel options. I'm not entirely sure how videos get in because you can 'report' videos, and they've definitely removed some videos because if you search for "sex" you'll find a bunch, and several have been removed. But, it's better than just letting a kid loose on youtube :) -
I really loved this website! It would be great in a classroom because a teacher can easily find videos that are appropriate for his/her classroom. My favorite aspect would probably be how they set aside a videos specifically for Halloween! This would be really fun in a classroom around Halloween, and I bet they do it for more than just Halloween.
TokBox - Free Video Chat and Video Messaging - 4 views

Recently learned about this new web-based tool and have tried out the feature which makes it very easy to send a video message by email. I am also interested to test out the chat feature, which would allow a group of people to hold a videochat (up to 20, according to the website), to see how well this works. If it works well, it could be used in many ways, to support meetings and collaborative work.

This website is a really awesome website to share photos, and it is free (you also have the option to subscribe). You have the ability to upload and share videos, photos, and slide shows etc. I think it would be cool to use in a classroom to show photos of the kids and their activities to the parents!

This site is great for young children who are learning to use the computer. On this site there is online coloring, print-and-play activities, and storybook creations. This site is easy to navigate, it's child-friendly, and it's free. Everything on this site is about Dr. Seuss and there are things for parents as well. I really like this site!

With this site you can paint, draw, edit photos, put artwork on your blog or website using the art player, and create graffiti. There are activities that children of all ages can take part in, but this site would seem to benefit older children more than younger children. However, younger children could paint and draw on this site. This site is easy to navigate and it's free.
