    This is a great website where multiple opportunities are given in different formats to review and practice computer terms in the format of flashcards, matching, concentration and word search. The participant has an option of clicking on the link on the page and view or print out computer terms and definitions.

    This site is a great resource to post presentations (PowerPoints, Word documents, PDF...) which may be too large to share on a blog or in an email. I n my workshop, participants may access videos, presentations and files with ease, as well as create their own log in to post their own findings and creations.

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.

    This website would be good to use for Graphic organizers that can be used by the instructor or by the learners. It is based on the idea of collaboration. The instructor can use it as a way of including the learners in a lesson. The learners can use it collaboratively for an assignment.

    Animoto is the simplest of all free presentation tools! It also doesn't profess to allow the user to do everything. It allows educators to create an unlimited number of videos from still images, including a choice of background music.
  •  
    Description: Video slideshow creator using words and audio and graphics Why better: Slideshows can align with Mayer's(2001) principles. Downloadable and embeddable.
  •  
    Animoto is designed to allow its users to upload captions and images in order to create vivid videos set to music. Animoto videos are what I like to consider, "smart videos." They analyze the video, feel the music, and then customize the video, allowing users to share and publish their unique video to any webpage. Animoto videos are a creative and fun way to introduce a topic of study, introduce vocabulary, or to teach a short lesson with. Animoto is free to use after making an account, but unless a membership is purchased with Animoto, the videos that you make will be no longer than 30 seconds in length. I have used it with my presentations, after purchasing a membership, and participants of the presentation were engaged and excited about what they saw and learned. It makes learning more interesting. Animoto is better than most other video production sites as it offers its users a variety of professionally looking templates to add your photos, text, and audio to, whereas other sites are limited on their templates to basic features.

Movie Maker - 1 views

    Movie Maker allows users to turn home movies into feature films of sorts. The user has the ability to add a soundtrack, narration, text, and other graphics to their home movies. This is an effective tool to use for digital storytelling because users have access to turn their words into so much more.

Using Avatars - 1 views

  •  
    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

Graphic Organizers - 0 views

    The graphic organizers provided here are, for the most part, plain in appearance. These will allow students to create their own look to these organizers whenever possible. The files are presented in .pdf format. There are approximately 80 different graphic organizers on this site. I found the options in this site more adaptable to different uses. Plus I prefer some of the editing options in Adobe Acrobat over MS Word and PowerPoint.
  •  
    Freeology offers a variety of graphic organizer templates that can be printed for use in the classroom. The graphic organizers help students to maintain focus on what is the most important within the content area or topic of study. These organizers allow the learner to organize the information in an easy to read and user friendly method.

Text 2 Mind Map - 0 views

  •  
    Online mindmap generator. Great for generative learning processes of making connections to prior knowledge. Explanation of choice: Recommended because it only requires you to type in an outline of text and in one-click transforms it to a free mindmap, which, unlike others, can be saved as a jpg.
  •  
    2. Graphic organizer, 8847_graphic_organizers tag in Diigo Text 2 Mind Map is a web application that converts a structured list of words or sentences, interprets them, and draws a versatile and user-friendly mind map.
  •  
    This site does the reverse of a tool in Inspiration. This site takes an outline and turns it into a mindmap, thereby allowing the user to have a graphic representation of ideas for any kind of project that is in outline form. Text 2 Mind Map is still in development, but from what I saw in the overall tool it does function well.

Wallwisher.com :: Words that stick - 0 views

  •  
    Collaborative brainstorming site that can be used for pre-training (asking questions, planning projects, reflecting, etc.) or assessment. Wallwisher is in the generative level of cognitive processing, because participants are challenged to apply and synthesize what is learned. The site is useful for many reasons. It can include multimedia elements, such as images or embedded videos. It is extremely easy to set up and create. It can also be embedded into other sites, where users can add content without visiting the home page.
