    Blogger is a free site for blogging in just three easy steps: create an account, name the blog, and choose a template. It is one of the most popular blog creation sites. Choose a discussion topic and have students blog about it.

    Blogging for teachers and students made easy. Edublogs allows you to easily create and manage student blogs. It includes several useful features and customizable themes, plus, it is ready made for podcasting, videos, photos and more. Edublogs also gives great tips on how to use blogs to revolutionize the way you teach and how your students learn.

    Edublogs is an easy to use blogging program created specifically for teachers and students. You can manage your students involvement and participation at any time. I have created an eudcation blog, but in a math classroom, it doesn't get used very often. I do know teachers who use a blog consistently.

    This site enables you to create a speaking avatar. It can be used to teach characterization or for presenting information in which students need to use oral language. The avatar can speak from recording your voice over a phone or typing in text.

    This is a great way to make an avatar of yourself to add to a blog or website. I'm hopefully going to incorporate this into one of my projects for Mrs Hudiburgs class. Hopefully it will be as easy as it looks. So far it has been, just waiting for it to upload!

    I put a Voki on my blog last semester. It was fun to do and I could see some benefits if we could use it for students who have been absent or who may be home bound for some reason as well as the other possibilities.

    A great way to give a daily message to the students. Can have the students record lunch menu for the class to hear each morning.

    Voki is a free service that allows you to create personalized speaking avatars and use them on your blog, profile, and in email messages. I personally have two of them on my teacher website. Sometimes you have to spell phonetically in order to get the Avatar to pronounce things correctly, but other than that, it is a blast creating them.

    Students of all levels would be able to navigate this tool. This could easily be used as whole group or individual instruction!

    Create flow-charts, diagrams, even floor plans! This tool makes it very easy to create great looking diagrams. In the classroom the students could design K-W-L charts and all types of graphic organizers. This could be added to a blog and look really professional. This tool could be used in a whole group or individual manner! Only negative is you can only have a free 30 day trial and then you have to pay a fee!

    Create flowcharts, diagrams, or even floor plans! This could be great for creating graphic organizers or for my students to create and label floor plans when we discuss home vocabulary.

    faceinhole.com is a fun site with famous pictures of celebrities, movie scenes, music album covers, magazine covers, and more. Each picture has a hole where a face belongs. You can upload a digital photo of yourself and crop it to fit in the hole you chose. You can also post your creation to a blog. These can be done for fun or you can have students create one and tie it into subject matter. For example, they could create a picture of themselves and then use that picture and setting to write a story, using the particular writing elements in your classroom.

    Create mindmaps together as a class, or independently. Great for people like me who hate to draw a mindmap because it always turns out lopsided, or you don't make the boxes big enough!
