    Picturing Modern America 1880-1920 is designed for those teachers focusing on American history from 1880-1920.  The site is very much focused on learner-centered learning.  Students must investigate history by drawing from clues in historical photos.  I will utilize this site in my presentation wiki focused on infusing mulitmedia in a history classroom.

    This website allows you to look at the history of computers in an interactive timeline. Students love to look throughout the history by years to see what happened during that timeframe. I love the fact that students can point and click but I would also like for students to be able to see the entire timeline spread out. Students can actively use the timeline to see the concept of computers from inception.

    Like the Khan videos, this site offers videos for lessons for students. Unlike Khan, this site offers videos on all topics including language arts, history, foreign language, art, and more. For teachers who do not have time to create videos, this free source could help them to integrate more multimedia learning into the classroom.

    Jing is a screencasting computer program which takes a picture of a computer screen and instantly provides it a URL and is uploaded to the web. It can then be shared instantly between collaborators. Jing offers capture, history, and more in the little transparent "sun" at the top of the screen. A free account can be set-up and software can be downloaded. This will provide the live presenter with opportunities for anytime essential screenshots for projection during the workshop. The screenshot will generate inquiry into the software programs.

    Voki is a online site that allows the learner to create their own speaking avatar. Once the avatar is created, there is an opportunity to demonstrate generative learning by creating speech for the avatar. The speech can be recorded by one's own voice or done through a text to speech tool. In my project, this will be a way for workshop participants to use generative learning to apply their learning to creating their own project. They will post an avatar on their wiki to entice learners to use it, giving purpose and features that will make the wiki useful to the participant. I chose this site for many reasons. Although it is very simple to use, it requires a high level of creativity that is engaging for learners. The product is high quality and is able to be shared via email and different online environments.

    Vokis are customizable avatars for use in the classroom. A lesson does not have to consist of a large amount of time, which makes Vokis valuable for sharing mini-lessons or instructions with students. The teacher's voice (or student's) may be recorded and combined with text-based instructions be used to teach a list of vocabulary words, give instructions, or even as individualized greeting for students when they login to their computer. Vokis can be stored on a wiki to reduce the burden on a school's server and are safe to share (as long as the students does not share any specific information about themselves) because they do not show the child's face. Vokis are fun for students and encourage their oral language development in a non-threatening way.

    Voki is one way to add voice to a presentation. You can use the text-to-speech feature to explain a presentation or record your own voice. Voki can also be embedded in a blog or website. Each Voki is engaging to the learner. Easy to use.

    Allows the user to create an animated avatar to be used as a presenter of material. Inputted text is converted to speech (available in multiple languages). Voki is recognized as one of the best programs of its kind for the qulity of the imagery and the flexibility of the user input.

    Voki allows you to make speaking avatars to use as an effective learning tool to motivate students to participate, improve comprehension, introduce technology in a fun way, and even as an effective language tool. Voki Classroom allows educators to organize how their students interact with Voki. Teachers and administrators can create class accounts, manage student work without student registration, and provides unlimited support for free or offers more at a low cost. The website provides lesson plans, brain training games, and tutorials.

    Voki is a great multimedia website that will allow students to create talking avatars depicting themselves or historical figures.  I will use this site in my presentation wiki on infusing mulitmedia in a history class.

    This website allows users to design an avatar. A video demonstrating the use of avatars for editing rough drafts show a potential use of this Web 2.0 tool for the K-12 classroom. This video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/embed/ao9KQltMkP0

    As a former user of TimeGlider, I have experienced its usefulness as a multimedia tool for active cognitive learning. With TimeGlider, the user is able to create an interactive timeline to be designed alone or collaboratively and shared with others. This free tool allows the user to not only control how important an event is based on its size on the timeline, but it also allows the user to link events on the timeline to online videos and to upload pictures to enhance the timeline. The student may begin with an idea of the time period they are creating a timeline for, but they make the choices about what material to include in terms of how many events to include and any extras like videos or pictures.

    Timeglider is web-based timeline software for sharing history and project planning. It can be an interactive guide to users for events like workshops and can be interactive between creator and users for essential and generative purposes. Timeglider is free for limited usage, but then asks for five dollars a month for formidable teacher/student uses. This site is a fine representation of cheap visual technology that gives good visual aid and cognitive understandings of the timeline organization.

    What it is: Tiki-Toki provides a free timeline creator that allows users to create original and creative timelines on any subject matter. Why it's better: Tiki-Toki is a web-based software that requires no prior downloading. With a premium subscription, users may collaborate on a single timeline. In addition, the software allows users to insert images, sounds, and/or videos into their timelines. Users can create multiple categories using different color schemes all within the same timeline. Timelines may also be embedded into individual websites for easy access.

    o Tiki-toki is a website where learners can create interactive timelines. Learners set timing, diving time into periods, and add events. Furthermore, they can embed graphics, videos, links, and information on each timeline item. Generative learning, or as Mayer (2009) described it, is cognitive processing to make sense of the material. This processing is supported by the site as learners can peruse through a time period to identify and demonstrate their understanding of major events. For English Language Learners, this tool allows learners to show what they understand even when they may not have all the language necessary to write an entire essay on a particular time period. o The site is relatively easy to use, but most importantly creates a superb final product. The timelines can be viewed in various ways including even a 3D view which can make history come alive for students.
