I have tried to include a few ideas about how to use them in the classroom. 1. BloggerFree site for blogging. Easy to set up and has lots of ways to customize. ALERT: Remove the navigation bar at the top. The "Next Blog" may not be an appropriate one. To remove the nav bar go to Layout and find the Navbar area and click Edit: Select "Off" and then "Save" = = 2. Edublo gs *.Free site for blogging, although there are advertisements. For a yearly fee, the ads are removed. This WordPress site has a lot of support features, and I will probably move over to this site once my Blogger account is full. 3. VoiceT hreadFree site for creating multimedia projects. Images are combined with voices. Recordings can be made in the classroom or added from a home computer. *.Here is another VoiceThread. This one is a poetry project about summer. What is Summer? *.Here is another VoiceThread. This is a great science project about ocelotsfrom an excellent educational blogger, Mr. Salsich. 4. YouTube and Vimeo These are free video sites to upload and share movies. There is a 10 minute length limit on YouTube. I like to customize a video before I embed it so it does not show related videos that I cannot control. Look for the customize pull-down menu on the YouTube site anddo notselect the "Show related videos" box. Here is a link to an embedded YouTube video on the classroom blog. I used both YouTube and Vimeo. The video was too large to upload to Blogger, and that is why I used YouTube. I originally uploaded it only to Vimeo, but later learned that Vimeo is blocked by my district. *. Mrs. Yollis' Class Visits Asia! TubeChopAllows for taking segments of YouTube videos. 5. Big Blue LabsThis movie poster was created on Big Blue Labs. It was used as an invitation for parents to the showing of our Polygon Movie. 6. Photo Peach *.A free site to upload pictures and create a musical slide show quickly.Thanksgiving Fun! on PhotoPeach Our Visit to the Chumash Museum on PhotoPeach Students wrote the captions for the photos following a field trip. Photo Peach is a great tool to incorporate images and text. 7. Skype A free software application that allows users to make video voice calls over the Internet. *.
