NWESD Summer Institutes

I could add a description if I wanted to.

Lots of variety in types of math worksheets to make.

lots of worksheet possibilities, mostly for young children

For your summertime entertainment, but also to encourage your thinking on the role of creativity in our classrooms. Can tools such as Animoto, Aviary, BigHugeLabs, xtranormal, etc., be justified as a means to master what will be on the test, while also fostering creativity?

Handy tool for obtaining guidance on copyright issues - what's in the public domain and what's not.

xtranormal's mission is to bring movie-making to the people. Everyone watches movies and we believe everyone can make movies. Movie-making, short and long, online and on-screen, private and public, will be the most important communications process of the 21st century. Our revolutionary approach to movie-making builds on an almost universally held skill-typing. You type something; we turn it into a movie. On the web and on the desktop.

Aviary is on a mission to make creation accessible to artists of all genres, from graphic design to audio editing.

For those looking for music for their Animoto (or any other multimedia) productions - beyond what Animoto offers - this is a great site provding free, legal downloadable music.
