NSF report on Cyberlearning

This story maker would be great to use with elementary students who are learning about how words come together to create sentences and stories. The tool would be an excellent resource for students who struggle with writing and need a visual to help them see the relationship between text and pictures. It works kind of like a game, allowing students to select characters, backgrounds, plots, and items so that they can create their own stories. Students are allowed to see the images they create and, as they create these images, the story maker builds the text to tell the story so that students can see how writing comes together. Students are also given the ability to change the text and incorporate animations. Finally, students are given a code that lets them share the story they created with others.

I've used this many times in my classroom. The students love it!

Latest update 4th June 2013 - These are some of the best free internet resources for education. This page is constantly updated; every time I come across a new piece of software or an exciting website, I list it here. This list is not exhaustive in any way.

This would be a great page for any LMS to have bookmarked as a resource page to recommend Web 2.0 tools to teachers. It is also a great resource to post to a library or district website for students and staff to access. The list is categorized to help find online tools according to the type of need or product for a given unit or lesson.

Great way of comparing/explaining to students the importance of reliable sources, gives great tools and explains Wikipedia (is the McDonald's of resources)

Google classroom can be a powerful tool for student-centered online learning. Teachers would be asked to use this source to introduce themselves to not only how to use it but how students can benefit from it. I love this source because it seems to be mostly created by high school students. The school that created it is showing how they are going to have students troubleshooting and supporting teachers throughout next years integration of classroom.
