    With Geni, you can build your family tree, invite relatives to collaborate, preserve your family history, discover new relatives, share family photos and videos, and remember birthdays and anniversaries. Geni is private and secure. Only the people in your family can see your tree. I think this would be a wonderful tool to help teach research and organizational skills in a very secure and controlled environment.

    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.

    On GoAnimate you can make your own animated characters, direct your own cartoons and watch others' creations. It's easy and free! I think this would be a fun way to allow students the creative freedom to construct graphic-novel-type book reports or fictional stories. This would also be a wonderful way for students to retell the plot line of the story for the class.
