If you haven't seen a glog, check this out. This one is on Web 2.0 tools. The key to remember is that you must scroll over each item in the glog. If a pink circle apears, then you should click the image and something else (video, website, audio etc.) will apear. Great example for how to use this tool!

Voki for Education

This is a great website for ear training. One of the downsides is that it does have a cost to get the full benefit of the tool but anyone can sample the activities for free. Teachers can track student progress as well.

This is a cool website for elementary students to use to have a more hands on and interactive research experience. Students can find out information about composers and the orchestra and listen to radio broadcasts about them as well as hear samples of music.

This is free and there's no need for an email address. I think I would create the site for each group of students so that I'm in control of the user name and passwords. I can enroll them in an "author" role so they can be in control of the pertinent areas of the page. I think this would be an awesome thing to incorporate into my political parties and election simulation for my class "parties" to create a fake blog for their candidate on the campaign trail. After spending too long trying to create a sample, I realized I'll need more direction with this one. It's not as intuitive as I thought it would be. If anyone has any hints or tips, I'm open.

If you like creating with wordle, you will love this site. There are many more creative options and numerous choices for sharing students' work online.

This tool will allow you to create image and photo galleries of a variety of resources for class activities. It also has a very thorough and rich help/support feature.

This tool can be used in a variety of ways to store, reference and share bookmarks. I have also heard really great comments from other teachers on how they use it a lot.

Delicious is the "old " style social bookmarking tool replaced by our friend here Diigo~ Diigo should be more powerful than Delicious. Interesting if you find somethings that Delicous does that Diigo does not.

This is a great site for creating a calendar in which people can put their dates they are available and you can easily find a date that works for multiple people. Loving it with my job that requires coordinating schedules.

This site allows you to compare all the different wiki programs available on the web. Neat if you are torn between which one to use with a group/class etc.

Creative way to find, share and store ideas found on web.
