This is a great resource for students learning about different locations. Different from the traditional travel videos which show the normal tourist attractions and provide no personal connections to the audience. Students are exposed to authentic travel experiences and they feel as if they are there. Great for virtual tours.
Another great alternative to powerpoint and slideshow presentations that can be a bit uninteresting. This is a free online tool that can be used to create exciting presentations. Instead of being based on slides, the presenter is able to create a concept-map of ideas/images/text/pdf docs/etc in order to visually engage his/her audience.
A great resource for students and teachers. Great tool for searching for images and other web resources that are under certain copyright laws and restrictions. Students and teachers can learn to be more aware of copyright and how to effectively use and cite their sources.
Another great resource for students/teachers learning about geography and locations/cultures. Students are able to feel as if they are there. Tis site is great for virtual field trips and such.
This is also a great alternative to the mundane presentation. A glog can consist of text/images/multimedia, which is included in a "virtual poster" in order to make the entire glog interactive.

Great alternative to powerpoint presentations! Students love the simplicity and interactive features of this tool. Educators can apply for an all-access pass code in order to gain free access for the teachers and students.
