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!!
Recommendations for back channeling (networking computers for real-time online conversations while presentation/video is happening). Interesting possibilities. Twitter and more.
Want to share just a bit of a YouTube video, here's a free online option that allow you to select the pieces you want. Looks helpful. I poked around--fairly easy to use.
VoiceThread is a collaborative tool that allows collaboration online. Responses may take the form of video, audio, doodle (drawing) or typing) and also phone (scheduled call which will record). Many ways to accommodate learners. Highly recommend. Free, but I upgraded to Pro version.
