How cool is this, webtools by letter.

Might get the Grade 7's to represent this in some way so that we can have these on a weebly for kids to search through...... hmmmm yes!

Google Educators pages, well worth the look, some really nice uses for Google in the class.

"Shidonni is a site where students can draw their favorite animal with a world to live in it and see the animal spring to life. Kids take care of their animals by feeding, petting or sending them to sleep. The animal eats the food that kids have drawn for it. They can choose if they want their pet to walk or fly, and they can name it. Kids can draw a background and change it whenever they want. They can play games with their virtual animals or send them to their friends to play with their animals. You can watch this introduction video. This site is great for kindergarten students but I'm sure primary kids will love and enjoy this site too!! This can be a great tool for digital storytelling or describing animals or daily routines."

will try this and let you know.

Nice pdf of websites that might help in any class wanting to embed tech.

This was featured on "Free Technology for Teachers" Blog as a website that requires no registration. You just start blogging and you can make your post public or private.  Could be great for the under 13 group.

Broadcastr is a new site that lets you record audio for up to three minutes and then "attach" it to a map location. It also gives you the url address of your recording. This could be a great resource for English Language Learners and all students. They could write, and then record, reflections from a field trip, describe their home countries, talk about something that happened in a particular place in a work of fiction, and then attach it to that geographical location. In addition to being there for an "authentic audience" (someone other than their teacher and classmates), the link to the recording can be posted on a student/teacher blog or website.

Could be great for VIA

Fakebook is the newest tool over at the excellent ClassTools site (Russel Tarr is the creative genius behind the site). Teachers and students can use it to: - chart the career of a historical character - create a timeline of important events - outline the main plot of a book, play or film and so on!

very clever way to get kids thinking differently about content/context

Sharing those school photos with your class online!

Want to video chat with others? if skype isn't the way this might be. (more than 3 locations catered for)

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.

Looks good, and now we have good mics!!! yeah!

http://l.aunch.it/tblq use this link to sign up people! First come first severed, fingers feet and toes.....If you can tell me the poem there is a prize!

Popplet is a new web app that is like Wallwisher on steroids. You can make an online "bulletin-board" with virtual "post-its" (called "popplets), just like in Wallwisher. And, except for the fact you have to register to use it, Popplet is just as easy and, in some ways, easier to use with a lot more functionality. With Popplet, you search for images and videos on the Web directly within the "popplet" instead of copying and pasting the url address (as you need to do in Wallwisher). You can draw within the "popplet" and it doesn't appear to have an limit on the number of characters you can use. You can connect the "popplets." You can also embed the whole thing.

Definitely looking further into this one!

Some excellent tech tips and links.

Another excellenat list of tech stuff

So, how can you use Jing (or other capturing alternatives) in your classroom? Here are some quick ideas for you: You can create training videos for quick and easy access for students, or even yourself for refreshers, etc… Have your students record themselves solving math problems and then post on your classroom blog! Have your students record their presentations Have your students record themselves researching and presenting their findings Don't stick to the norm! Have your students get creative - create a timeline of an explorer's life and then present it via Jing!
