"Is is possible to embed a Voki in Glogster? Well…not easily. You certainly can't just put an embed code and it works. Hopefully, Glogster will start allowing embedded content besides movies. Anyway, if you are willing to go through a few steps you can do it. Below is a step by step tutorial on this process. Only free, web-based solutions were used and nothing is uploaded to Youtube since it is blocked in many school districts."

"But a new technology allows online instructors to reconnect discussion to the lecture. VoiceThread is a web service that allows users to upload PowerPoint slides, videos, photos, etc. and add voice narration to create a multimedia presentation. But best of all, viewers can add their own comments to the presentation via voice or text. With VoiceThread students can attach questions or thoughts about a lecture directly to the lecture itself when and where they apply. The result is a discussion that is integrated into the lecture itself. "

The online Photo Editors allows users to upload images from their PC or they can also import images from photo sharing websites like Photobucket.com , flickr.com , Picasa.com , facebook.com , etc. They provide image resizing tools which will help all webmasters to re-size images easily online. After editing images you can also upload images to the photo sharing websites or you can save in your hard drive. Some very cool ways for kids to alter images without the pain of Photoshop!

One of the services offered by Drop.io that I'm really going to miss is their hidden upload tool which allowed you to have others submit files to your drop. For the last couple of years I used Drop.io's hidden uploader to collect assignments from students.

Knovio might end up being one of the best Web 2.0 applications of the year. You upload a PowerPoint presentation, record a presentation with your microphone and webcam, and then it's done! It's free, and it is not open to the public yet, but I received an invitation about five seconds after I requested it.
