A list of useful presentation resources being offered online (free and paid) including presentation templates, video backgrounds, photos, clipart and animations.

The six top free online tools were selected from available web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning using presentations, blogging, and bookmarking online resources. There are many excellent online tools available in these three categories, making the selection difficult at best. However, the selection was made based on reviewing available online resources along with other contributions and feedback from teachers.

Alan Levine's list of 50 tools you can use to tell stories, rounded out with examples from him and others.

"The Fifty Tools Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. Again, the mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. I have used each tool to produce an example of the original Dominoe story, plus links are provided, where available, to examples by other people. Please share your own examples or thoughts in the discussion area of this wiki. But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now."

A dozen activities are presented for using an online education technology tool to engage students in classroom activities to develop a better understanding of concepts.

This idea was presented by Claire Sisbkin during the TESOL Conference, and it's just really, really neat! It's a dictionary students can listen to and see the pictures in their ipods and iphones.
