Insert and manipulate photos and text. Free tool.

Flickr Storm is similar to FlickrCC. The kids can search, click on a thumbnail and the photo comes up on the right. If you let the students click on the advanced search feature, it will allow them to limit their searches to Non-Commercial and Share Alike photos. An organization feature of Flickr storm is the "Add to Tray." You can add several photos to your tray and then when you open your tray, all the photos are there in large-sized format. It is like saving the pictures to a file, but instead it stays on the website. Anything like this website is good to begin brainstorming for writing.

Change How You See, See How You Change. A collection of photos by Rick Guidotti capturing the beauty in genetic diversity. Remarkable photos of kids with Marfan syndrome, albinism, Goldenhar syndrome, Nevus, Down syndrome... All showing not just genetic diversity but personality, joy, and life.

Creative Clommons is the non-profit area of Flickr where photos are shared among members. Millions of available photos in four categories of use (attribution, noncommerical, no derivative works, share alike). None of the copyright violations of using other images on the web.

Quick and easy 30-sec audio recording online that can then be used as tag on photo, voice on Tweet, video narration, email addition. Interesting to consider how it might be used as individual and then series of messages to create talking texts for various purposes.

You can use your photos or videos in animoto, add your own music, and change the background theme that all runs automatically. You can register as a teacher and get the paid subscription for free! I use this program in my class for book talk videos, and my students love using it!

TripAdvisor™ TripWow allows you to take your photos and upload them into their program for an excellent slideshow for free! The music, background, and animation is very easy to use and makes excellent videos! Similar to Animoto, but easier to use in my opinion.
