PowToon, free software animated video maker and PowerPoint alternative - 1 views

  •  
    A free online tool that students can use to create animated voice presentations for the classroom.
  •  
    I will have to implement this tool next time when I create comic strips. What a neat idea, interactive, fun and free.
  •  
    I like this tool, I have seen teachers in my school use a program similar to this one, but for some reason I can't remember the program. These can be fun for the students to use because it is something different than the normal PowerPoint that they complete for assignments.

ePals Global Community - 0 views

  •  
    Account is free; find collaborative projects with students around the world. Has a limited number of free student epals account too.
  •  
    ePals is a free web 2.0 resource that provides language classes the opportunity to connect with target language speakers around the globe. Communication can range from simple email messages to wiki and blog collaboration to multimedia presentations and even Skype video chat. Teachers can monitor all activity, for the sake of student security. A potential project would be for both groups - advanced level students in the local L2 group - to read the same story or poem and then use the ePals blog tool to share opinions (targeting writing skills) and later the Skype video chat to discuss (or perhaps debate) the text (targeting oral skills).
