SlideShare provides users a way to post slide presentations through online features. This service was one of the first Web 2.0 sites to provide a way to upload presentations, tag them, create discussion groups, and invite other users to build upon them. It is a forward-thinking alternative to the usual PowerPoint presentation that allows interactivity and accessibility not seen before in typical presentation tools.

Great lesson using creativity in a multimedia slide show using Kid Pix- this is a language arts lesson that contains elements of nouns, verbs, sequencing..etc. This lesson is great because it goes into what the students need to know before beginning the lesson and what the teacher needs to perpare into for everything to run smoothly.

Great program to use when putting together stories for a class project. Use this after video taping or pictures taking to create a movie instead of a slide show of your ideas. I really like how you can edit and also put in music.

iMovie is Mac-only, but it is a powerful movie-making tool that comes pre-loaded onto new Mac computers. It's easy and intuitive and can output in HD.

Collaborative tool that can utilize various types of media and allow commenting through voice, text, audio file, and video. The person commenting can also draw on the visual and it will by synched with their comment. Educators can purchase a one time $10 membership to put more restrictions on access.

Teachers could use this tool to post images, videos, or slideshows and have each student share their ideas about what was presented. This would give all students a chance to express their thoughts. I believe the teacher can hold the comments until she is ready to release them so students can't base their comments on the other comments they heard. I also liked the idea that it could be moderated by the creator of the Voicethread. Students could also use it as a presentation tool.

This is a very cool tool. I came across it this weekend while searching for something for my Cool Tools Demo and immediately put it down as one of the things I wanted to talk about. I just noticed you just posted this, so I hope I don't steal your thunder! It is something I would love to learn more about and actually use at some point, though. SlideShare is a similar program I came across and signed up for as well. I'll post that bookmark for the group.

VoiceThread is another Web 2.0 presentation tool where users can interact with presentation slides via video, voice, and text commenting. Presenters can get real-time feedback on posted presentations, and users can interact with each other, sharing ideas related to the content covered.

talk about pictures in class with your students. Really neat tool to show group conversations.
