Great tool to create Google map with lots of images. Very nice

"This site was created by Dr. Alice Christie to share an exciting new approach to teaching and learning.

Let's teachers and students create sets of flashcards that you can share with others. Can also do searches for existing sets. Great for subjects that use images as well (for example rock and mineral identification in earth and space science)

" By the time you have reached the end of this tutorial you will be able to construct a series of linked web pages for any subject that includes formatted text, pictures, and hypertext links to other web pages on the Internet. If you follow the steps for the Basic Level (lessons 1-14) you will develop a page about volcanoes and if you go on to the Advanced Level (lessons 15-29), you will create an enhanced volcano web site."

Great resource for teaching students how to use the tools. Students would rather watch a video instead of listen to the teacher talk, and why not watch a video created by another student?

WOW! You could get lost in this site rather quickly. I'm often looking for "activating strategies" and usually discoverystreaming is my "go to" source for video clips. Now this site will be another resource for me to use!

Agree with Rich why not use other students to explain how to use the tool. I only think of the endless possibilities you could use to collaborate on different readings or assignments using the tool.

"If you've ever wanted to paste "Pop Up Video"-style commentary bubbles over your favorite YouTube clip, Popcorn Maker's drag-and-drop UI couldn't be simpler. But you can also add more sophisticated interactivity like Google Maps, live Twitter feeds, and Wikipedia articles just as easily. "

Liked the way this site organizes 5 core tactical approaches for instruction. Can help one visualize and identify the approach that he/she may take to achieve learning objectives.

Create web-ready presentations from your PowerPoint files.

I really liked this site's idea of making visual ideas online. I would like to make more visuals for my students. Also, I believe that they like to make visuals as well. This site was a little difficult to navigate and the choices were some what limited. However, it is in the beta stage. As with all Web 2.0 tools there will be more changes in the future. So I will definitely be coming back later to see what has been updated.

"Piktochart is a Simple Infographic Editor"

I just finished using this site to create a presentation. I used the free version. Although somewhat limiting, it is free and I'm happy with the result.

Haiku Deck allows users to create simple but effective visual presentations. Haiku Deck could fit into both substitution and Augmentation SAMR levels.

Alternative to Edmodo, no age restrictions.

"Dawn of the New Literacies"

Graph functions, plot tables of data, evaluate equations, explore transformations, and much more - for free! theses an easy way to add higher math graphs to tests and assignments. Students can also create graphs and send them. This fits under redefinition for the SAMR model and doesn't fit clean;y into any category of the web 2.0 clusters. My best guess is Infographic s under data analysis and drawing. Any thoughts?

Create a list of Tweeter friends and others can Follow that entire list with one click. Great to help the newbies get started. (Thanks, @mmkrill)
