Bitly. The power of the link. - 1 views
-
I use bitly all the time! As a frequent user of Google forms, I shorten the link before I share it. Sometimes I'm asking teachers to write a link on their boards to share with students, so this makes is less cumbersome.

Very nice application. any idea how it compares with tinyurl.com? There doesn't seem to be much difference.
Pandora Internet Radio - Listen to Free Music You'll Love - 0 views
-
Pandora is on my list of favorite Web 2.0 tools. There are times I need background music for student activities. Even with the free subscription, you can create a station, mark it so there are no songs with explicit language played, and I have found that if I use my ipad or phone, commercials are fewer in number!

I've seen this used in my daughter's kindergarten classroom by the teacher, for background music. You're right, Becky, it does make for great ambiance while the students are working. What 'channels' do you prefer? For alternatives, you might try GrooveShark (which is great because you can select specific CD's -- my favorites are the movie soundtracks) and I'm just now trying out SoundCloud, which has an Android and iPhone app. Soundcloud has fewer selections than Grooveshark, but a better interface and easier sharing/liking.
Blabberize.com - Got a picture? Blabberize it! - 1 views

Blabberize is a fun 2.0 tool that allows you to record your voice with a static photo. Besides, they use a llama on their home page to demonstrate how it's used. What's not to love about that?
-
I could see a student using this to create an audio story for a classroom exercise. It's pretty ridiculous, but I imagine that's the appeal of it. It looks so simple that it would be a shame to not try it out! And I'm not aware of anything like it, except for JibJab, but that's much more limited in what you can do with it. I just am surprised that the Llama's audio is so poor...
Educreations - Teach what you know. Learn what you don't. - 0 views
-
Educreations can be used with an iPad or web browser. It is an interactive white board that allows you to create and voice record video lessons. I've used it to provide students feedback by taking a screenshot of their work, then annotating and recording my thoughts. I've also used it to flip a lesson and to provide lessons when my class is cancelled for weather. There is no such thing as a snowday with Educreations!
ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard on the App Store on iTunes - 1 views
-
Even though this app only works on iPads, I consider it a Web 2.0 tool as well because recorded "ShowMe's" are accessible on your computer. Similar to Educreations, it is an interactive whiteboard. I've used with with elementary students to create social stories. I use my iPad to take a picture of them doing the preferred activity, then have them voice record their own description. Very effective with children with autism!

This is a nice web newsletter, full of very practical classroom tools for educators. Dulcinea is a character from the Man of La Mancha (Don Quixote), who had troubles finding the good in herself. This appears to be an effort to find the 'goodie' in instructional technology resources.

Kidblog | Safe and simple blogs for your students. - 0 views

I have to give a shout-out to William Chamberlain for putting this platform out for others to use. I has been a great tool to allow my classes to connect with classes and students across the country and the world safely and well. Super tool.
-
I agree with Scott on this resource. Kidblog was a great way to introduce blogging to middle school students. It allows students the freedom to maintain their own page but allows teachers to supervise their postings and comments. We, my co-teachers and I, gave students the choice of using this site as one choice of a book project. I would say Kidblog's use is mainly for students, again under the direction of a teacher. I know of no other site that gives teachers the control and a listing for class blogs.
