Shwup is a great site for teachers and students to use in order to post and share pictures and videos on the web. You do need to sign up, but anyone who gets a log-in can be invited to share in creating a "muvee" with the images that their "friends" (classmates/colleagues) are sharing. This is a great way to do collaborative multimedia projects or keep pictures and videos in one place from an event that had more than one person taking footage/images. The videos can all be shareed on shwup and posted to blogs, Facebook and other social media sites. Fun, easy to operate, and very useful.

This is a wonderful site! I use it all the time!! A large portion of my students actually used it for their last presentations! The one downfall - you need to verify an email address before you can save anything. I've also found a way around that though... you just have to finish your project in one sitting and it'll finish it and give you a URL that you can post somewhere (for my students on moodle). Great site!! :)
