Geni - Free Online Family Trees - 1 views

  •  
    This is for anyone who spends anytime working on their family tree. It is very easy to use and you are able to add pictures. This would work great for a family tree project in class. It also has places to create timelines, which would be a great social studies project.
  •  
    great for family tree project in Spanish class
  •  
    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 site. There are so many useful videos that could be used to supplement lessons.

    This website has a lot of different videos, pictures, audio. etc that could be used in the classroom. All you have to do is type in what you want to search, and you will be amazed with what comes up! For example, I typed in "The Water Cycle" and had 10 different videos pop up!

    This site provides teachers with suggestions on how to integrate video production into the curriculum. It explores the world of media literacy.

NoodleTools : MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian Bibliography Composer, Online Notecards - 0 views

  •  
    MLA writing format site
  •  
    I am a little iffy about this site being interactive enough to be considered 2.0, but if you are teaching writing to older students, it is pretty nice. There are bibliography makers and tutorials so... I hope it is considered a 2.0 Web site :-)

Google Docs - 0 views

  •  
    The directions are easy: Upload your files from your desktop, edit and view your docs from any computer or smart phone. This is a great resource for teachers and students as the students can work on an assignment from their computer at home and the teacher can access it and see how they are doing.
  •  
    I have used this for my 5th graders. We have our own web page, and I can put links and assignments on it for them to access. I actually have it set as the home page on all of the desktops in my classroom.

Wallwisher.com: Words that stick - 0 views

  •  
    This is an online notice board maker where you can post announcements, greetings, jokes; just about anything you would want to put on a Post It. I think this would be a great tool for students to use in a note taking assignment. This would be fun to collaborate multiple students' posts and try to combine them randomly to create a funny poem or short story.

Kids' Zone-Create a Graph - 2 views

  •  
    Kid friendly on line tool for creating graphs of all kinds. It includes a tutorial, tools, graphing, and various ways to understand graphing in a kid friendly format
  •  
    This site allows you to easily create Bar, Line, Area, Pie, and XY graphs. When completed the graphs can then either be printed or saved. This site would work much better than excel for many simple student graphs, because of the complexities that excel sometimes leads to.
  •  
    When I found this website I was so excited! This website makes creating a graph SUPER easy! Whether you teach Math or Science, this is a great website to use for graphing. The students are still responsible to collecting the data and knowing where to put the information. All they have to do is choose the type of graph they want, type in the data, and then the graph is created!

    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.
