6 Fun and FREE Avatar Creators for the iPad!

I love using the read write think resources. This would be a great way for students to showcase the book they're reading for display in the library.

This video can be used in the classroom to show the definition of Fair Use. Although the voices are very monotone it does a very nice job of explaining the misinterpretations of Fair Use and the consequences of not abiding by the rules of Fair Use and Copyright. I would embed this video with a link to this video and give the creators credit for creating if I were to use this in class.

Students can create their own trading cards / flash cards about people or events that happened in a book they're reading.

I think this would be a fun alternative to the traditional book report. Students are introduced to the five story elements in Session One. In Session Two students use Comic Creator Student Interactive to create a six-frame comic strip to map story elements from a story they have read.

I used this with the 4th grade class last year and they LOVED it!

Free Lesson Plans and Games for Learning Civics however...unlike other OER's users may not change anything according to the terms of use.

You are able to create a cube to go with many projects and topics. Already created ones include: Bio, Mystery, Story cubes where you can have the question and users type in the answer. Print and fold to create a cube. The last and most useful is the create-your-own cube where everything goes. Great for a get to know you activity or even a self created game.

Students can discuss text-dependent questions to promote an understanding of the story's character. This resource features a trading card creator for each significant character in the story.
