Now that you and/or your students are using wikis and blogs, are you curious what could be added to them? From animated slideshows to collaborative documents to interactive review games, many great (and free) tools are available. As a follow up to my previous post "What Teachers Should and Should Not Be Posting on their Classroom Webpages", I've pulled a master list of embedding options that will hopefully spark your imagination.
This wikispace is designed to show interested teachers. parents and students the ways I am integrating e-Learning practices in a junior setting. Follow the links to my current classroom blog at Sunnybrae Normal School and to my first ever classroom blog at Northcote Primary.

What is the Comprehension Task Maker?
The Comprehension Task Maker is a program that can be downloaded and installed on your computer. Once installed, you can use the Comprehension Task Maker to create your own customised interactive multimedia comprehension tasks.
When creating a comprehension task there are two main componants:
* The information for comprehension
* The questions the player must complete to show they understand the information provided. Questions can be either multiple choice or True - False.
Because you decide on the information and questions, you can create tasks for any level and for any topic. Tasks can be made in any language using any script.
Finished tasks are saved as webpages and can be used for any non commercial purposes. They can be copied onto the school network, a memory stick to share with others. Tasks can be linked to the schools intranet or ineternet site, or included in a blog.
Make 2D screen based cartoon stories to illustrate conversations and dialogues. Stories can include an unlimited number of frames and are view frame by frame. Each frame can include:
* Images: Drag and drop library items onto the frame, or import your own digital photos or images saved from the web.
* Text bubbles: Select from a range text bubbles and information boxes. Drag and drop onto the frame and start typing! Text can be in any language and any script.
* Voice recordings: Add new voice recordings using the simple built in recording panel. You can also add recordings already saved on your computer.
Stories are saved on your computer as HTML page (webpages), and can easily viewed by others on any computer using a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Stories can also be printed. Completed stories can also be loaded back into the Cartoon Story Maker and edited or added to.
Very cool
