Nanoogo--This FREE site encourages children to be creative and share ideas. It's a cross between a blog and a digital canvas and formatting is really simple. Users just drag and drop the images and text however they wish. There is also a teacher sign up option, which lets you quickly add a whole class or school. Worth a look.
NYSRA Members need to know Volume 20 of the Language & Literacy Spectrum is now online. Members type in their username and password to gain access. Great articles pertaining to Digital Literacy that include social bookmarking, bloggin, wikis and more.
Juxio--multimedia communication (facebook, twitter, email) Lots of potential here for communication--could, for example, send home for updates on class work (digital mulitmedia news letter).
Upload photos, record voice and share...free. Again, I see potential for publishing--could have book reviews, commentary and more on classroom webpage.
Glogster is an online FREE interactive poster tool. Ability to add hyperlinked video, insert digital images and voice (mp3)--lots of ways to personalize. Great potential (e.g., introduce self in course, individual book reports, group projects). EASY to use.
I just found this this week!! I love it. I think I might use it for our WWII unit, or disUtopian book reports, or as a culminating activity for my postcards from the past/postcard to the future workshop! So many uses!!
Very sensible technology integration matrix (entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, transformation)--helpful in context of Common Core State Standards, which require digital literacy.
