    This website is great for brainstorming alone or with others. You can add videos to your mind maps. Mindomo can be downloaded to your desktop to use offline or your server. The desktop maps you create can be integrated with your online maps.
  •  
    Mindomo is a mind mapping tool that not only allows users to create a map for a concept, but also allows for collaboration and the addition of multimedia elements. This tool can be used at the end of a workshop to allow participants to share their knowledge with each other or with those who did not attend the workshop through the creation of a mind map. I have not used this particular tool, but it looks to be fairly easy to use. The fact that it allows for the addition of multimedia elements to the mind map makes it even more appealing.
  •  
    Mindomo (http://www.mindomo.com) is an incredible graphic organization site. This site allows the user to create interactive graphic organizers. They can choose the layout they want, import pictures, and add video or audio clips, hyperlinks and much more to the graphic organizer. This allows the user to create dynamic interactive graphic organizers that demonstrate whatever they are trying to get the learner to learn. The graphic organizers can be saved and shared within the site or embedded into a website for others to view. This site has two levels of service the free component does not allow the user the same privileges as the paid customer such as uploading pictures but with the free component the user is able to still make a interactive dynamic presentation. This site is better than some of its counterparts like Inspiration and even Bubbl.us because it allows the user to embed the graphic organizer into a website or create a slide show presentation of what they are trying to do.

    On this site, users are able to create customizable mind maps. Multiple formats are available to save the product. additionally, other users are able to modify the created the mind map. I chose this site because of the control the user has with the product and the collaboration possibilities.

    Bubbl.us is a graphic organizer builder that I use not only for Walden activities but also in my own classroom. Bubbl.us is effective because it is a quick way to create a graphic organizer for any topic. also, it can be used to create a mind map for students to demonstrate their understanding of a topic.
  •  
    Bubble.us is the best web brainstorming application. It is somewhat limited in that it can not do a lot of different types of graphic organizers but it is absolutely free, and easily sharable to others. The menu button allows the information to be exported as an image, html, or xml that can be shared on a blog or printed. Many other brainstorming applications do not allow for exporting into different formats.
  •  
    This website provides a way to create creative graphic organizers to make connections with prior and new learning. Students are then able to "see" connections with the color coding of information. The organizer can be completed prior to the lesson and broken down into pieces and archived into the slides using Interwrite. Bubbl.us is technology centered because content is entered into the text boxed. Then the students print out their mind map. The mind map helps students to choose what is important to remember because of the limited capacity of working memory. (Mayer, 2008)
  •  
    Bubbl.us is a free web application that allows users to create an interactive web based graphic organizer. as with other graphic organizers, Bubbl.us will aid the generative process and allow users to organize and categorize what is being learned at a given time.

Visual Thesauru - 1 views

    I know we only needed two pre-training websites, but I just wanted to include this one so that I did not forget about it, as I find it to be a great resource. What it does: Generates a list of synonyms for a chosen word. Provides a "mind map" type of chart for the synonyms. Why this one: It is extremely simple and quick to use. Teaches are always short on time. This is a resource that requires no learning time. Results are immediate. Learning benefits: The mind map results chart is great for generative learning. It launches possibilities from which a learner can begin brainstorming.
  •  
    The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus that encourages exploration and learning. This program is easy to use and creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words, helping to understand the concepts to engage in the learning process.

    Although this website requires A subscription, I found it to be so eAsy to use thAt its well worth it. My pArticipAnts cAn tAke Any key word they wAnt And instAntly creAte A thinkmAp with A few clicks!

ToonDoo - World's fastest way to create cartoons! - 3 views

  •  
    What it does: allows teachers to create a simple cartoon strip. Why this one: It is free and easy to use. It provides templates from which to choose. I see a great benefit in that teachers can quickly create a dozen of these messages in the same time it would take to create just 1 video message. Therefore, time and practicality are key benefits. as mentioned above, I have tried to maintain the need for simplicity and efficient use of time. Creating multimedia presentations are but a small fraction of the enormous number of jobs a teacher must complete. Learning benefits: I see this more for generative learning. Role playing, "what if" scenarios, and thought-provoking situations can be presented by the teachers.

    ToonDoo is a website that allows students to create cartoons, books, characters, or doodles about any topic. It would be a great way for students to present information they have learned or demonstrate comprehension in a non-traditional way. 
  •  
    This is a tool which can be used for digital storytelling.  It is technology centered although its use is learner centered.  I incorporated the use of this tool with students from another school to retell parables with a 21st century twist in the middle school curriculum of the private Christian school at which I taught.
  •  
    This is a free site that allow you to create cartoons using the available images, images you create, or your own photos. Just drag and drop!

Glogster: make a poster online. It's free! - 7 views

  •  
    Glogster EDU www.glogster.com The first authentic assessment activity website that I chose is called Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU is a website like no other resource I have ever seen. Glogster EDU is a creative, dynamic and innovative digital outlet for online creations that keeps learners in engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun (Glogster EDU, 2009). Glogster EDU is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner's knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learner's desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested (Glogster EDU, 2009). The reason I chose Glogster EDU as one of my authentic assessment activities is because I have used it in my classroom and it works great. Glogster EDU is a powerful resource to use with students of the middle and high school levels because its possibilities are controlled by the students knowledge and creativity. Educators can set up assessments easily and quickly using the resources provided by the site host. Glogster EDU can be used for any type of assessment where students need to illustrate their understanding of course content. Glogster EDU also provides its own video site called Schooltube where students can research, watch, and add video to their personal glog adding the much needed audiovisual aspect to projects that normally would have been text based. I also really like the fact that Glogster EDU is a private site monitored by teachers; it gives me a sense of assurance that my students won't be accessing information that could get them or me in trouble.

    This website has a gallery of multimedia posters that have been published and created based on various content area. Items include a focus on literature, mathematics, science, biographies and more.
  •  
    Glogster allows the user to create a multimedia poster. The user can incorporate video, text, and images. Of course the use of Glogster as an assessment tool is based solely on how the assessment is designed. If the user creates an assessment that is authentic and incorporates Glogster, then the use of Glogster will be an authentic assessment.
  •  
    Use glogster to create digital posters with audio, video, graphics and text.
  •  
    Glogster allows users to create digital posters that incorporate video, text, pictures, and sound.
  •  
    Glogster (www.glogster.com) allows teachers and students to create interactive projects. Teachers can design interactive glogs for their students to complete or assign the students to create their own glog for a class project. Either way this allows for the teacher to really control the learning. Mayer (2009) would consider Glogster knowledge construction because students will have to view the videos, read the articles, and examine the pictures that the teacher embeds in their glog to form an opinion or to create their own glog. When a student creates their own glog no two will be exactly the same.

VoiceThread - 3 views

  •  
    This website utilizes pictures, video or any type of work that can be uploaded to the site by a teacher or a student. Participants are able to provide written, voice or video comments about the posted artifact. This is a collaborative, student-centered site that promotes cognitive processing of information. This artifact represents what Mayer (2009) calls dual coding, including both textual and visual components. The students have the opportunity to respond in a variety of ways to the instruction which promotes higher level thinking skills. I plan to create my own Voice Thread using our own student writing.

  •  
    VoiceThread incorporates media from a variety of sources and allows the layering of sound and comments from many sources. The application support completely new types of sharing and presentation. We can create multimedia albums in which can insert documents in PDF, Excel, PPT and MCS. VoiceThread is an excellent resource for presentations.
  •  
    Collaborative place for images, video and documents. The doodle feature is an interesting twist.This will be utilized by my participants in giving feedback and sharing of videos.
  •  
    Wow! I encourage you to watch the tutorial video for voicethread. You and others can collaborate on an artifact, draw on it, provide commentary on it (the most accented function).
  •  
    multimedia collaboration software no installation required
  •  
    VoiceThread is a tool for digital storytelling which uses photos and audio and text to share.  The site is centered around the technology, but its use is learner centered. 
  •  
    Voicethread is excellent for generative learning. It presents information through the visual and auditory channels. Its unique ability to integrate voice comments and feedback inline during the presentation sets it apart from others as away to integrate the learning of many students. This ability to collaborate not only includes their website and an iOS application, but is also available through the phone. Each presentation can receive a phone number so students can leave comments in that way if their computer systems do not allow them to otherwise.
  •  
    Voice thread can be used for presentations as well as students work. You can upload media and have your participants leave comments.
  •  
    VoiceThread allows its users to create a slideshow presentation using images and/or video components. Once the presentation has been designed and ready to share, it can be embedded onto any webpage. This allows for easier access to its users and viewers. This particular online presentation program was much easier to use and access than many of the other programs that I viewed. It also allows for collaboration among classmates and instructors, by permitting others to comment on each photo through text, audio, or video.
  •  
    VoiceThread is a collaborative tool that allows users to upload media and engage in dialogue. Users can provide commentary on the media that is presented through typing or voice recording. an additional feature of VoiceThread allows users to draw with a pen as a way of highlighting while they are talking. The administrator has options to block participants' responses from each other before revealing all the comments for viewing. This website supports essential and generative learning because participants are given the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to transfer knowledge gained.

VUVOX - slideshows, photo, video and music sharing, Myspace codes - 1 views

  •  
    What it does: It allows you to create a collage of pictures that scroll horizontally across the screen. It allows for links and embedded videos as well. Why this one: One version of it is free. It is simple and easy to use. It maintains interest as the photos scroll across the screen and seems to eliminate many of the possible extraneous material that is sometimes easily added to a multimedia presentation. The rate and flow of the scrolling is user controlled. Learning benefits: Text can be added, but this application is an excellent example of how "a picture paints a thousand words," and how a learner can generate their own interpretation and message from the presentation.
  •  
    You can use Collage to quickly produce dynamic interactive panoramas with hot-spots. Use Studio to build a personalized media presentation and, place it in your Collage. Use express to build presentations with dynamic content from RSS feeds and online albums. Tap into Cut-out Express to use your photos as frames for slideshows. Vuvox is user friendly with a fast layout and customization of photos, video, text and music. It is easy to add media hotspots, narrate interactivity, and publish to any webpage.
  •  
    This is a presentation creation program on the web that allows the addition of images and text in different ways, such as collage. There is a limited free version and the program is easy to use.
