Dipity is a site that makes it simple for your students to create and share interactive timelines about any subject or topic. It allows students to embed YouTube videos, RSS feeds, Blogger, flickr, Picasa, music, and more right into their timelines. Very cool application to make teaching history a bit more interesting and interactive!

This is a really easy, but very fun site to use. Students and adults can create picassoheads to use as icons and images for stories or in place of a virtual photo of themselves. In my district students' photos cannot be online.

microblogging engine - similar to Twitter

Great way forstudents to communicate in a controlled environment.

played a little with it. seems a bit wierd to me, however could be good in the right setting. Like creating a avatar or something of that nature

fun and easy

This would be great for creating Biographies for historic figures or story characters

What a great site to use for reading novels, prewriting a narrative writing piece or outlining history. I think students would enjoy this and it would really help to organize their ideas.

Combine photos, videos, audio and text to create scrapbooks. This is really cool if you are into sharing pictures in a fun way. I don't enjoy scrapbooking because of the tedious cutting/pasting, but I think I would enjoy this because it is virtual. This would be great for students to use when doing biographies.

Great site for students to create booklists, reading logs, book recommendations.

You want to model good behavior with you students, and this may be a good way to quote part of a web page by using an image map of that particular page. It may be helpful to use with education and presenations in your class.

Multiple image editing. Easy to create, discover and share.

Very cool for project presentations. I think the students would enjoy this website.

HotChalk is a collaborative online resource for preK-12 teachers, students and parents. It provides an easy-to-use learning management system accessible by any Internet browser, a media-rich library of teacher-contributed lesson plans and digital content, including audio, video, textbook, and assessment content as well as online professional development for teachers.

I found this an interesting web application. Please Note: HotChalk's online tools and community content are free, but their premium content like NBC News video and McGraw-Hill Education's professional development courses require a paid subscription. They do give you a free trial. Another note: HotChalk covers all preK-12 subjects, including Math, Science, Music, Language Arts, Computers & Internet, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education. Their mission is to improve the lives of teachers.... I have to agree with that goal...

If you have your own class website, you can create a short and easily remembered URL that your students can remember even if they access the class website from a different computer than their home computer.

A site created for use in the classroom. Access news videos to show your students in class. The FREE site has global, historic, and current event videos. There are also lesson plans and information for everyone from teachers to parents.

This site is for students in the summer 2008 EDU5365 BC1

This site allows users to "play" the guitar along with songs. Lyrics are also included so you can sing along as you play. Coming Soon: You'll be able to learn how to play an actual guitar, make an MP3 of your performance, and share songs with other users. May be a creative outlet for students.

Anytime an educator can bring television clips into the classroom, I think the students really can relate. In a math class, there are many references in prime time television. The CBS drama Numbers is most notable, but CSI, Game Shows, etc. make reference to math concepts that could be easy to incorporate into a lesson.

You can download videos and then add dialogue bubblesto them.

Funny site for use in the classrrom to spice up instruction

Great Video site. Educational video that you can use in class
