We hope we can purchase Brain Pop again next year. It has been such a valuable tool in all of our classrooms. They launched Game Up yesterday which has free online games that tie to the curriculum. Some of the games are about student rights, Bill of Rights, etc. Studies showed that "BrainPOP users outgained the control group in: Vocabulary, Comprehension, Language and Science."

My avatar editor (same avatars as wii) Can use this in powerpoint and put it in “green screen” mode (under jpg)

Jam Studio – kids can create music mixes, click in the classroom on the left hand side to apply for “grant” only 9 questions to get it for free, passwords for the kids

Odosketch – drawing, kids can create and also watch how pictures were drawn

igoogle – with google account you can personalize your homepage (RSS Reader)

jing – can build an annotated screen shot (skitch for mac) but jing does the same for PC, online space to store your screen shots (click share button to upload) click the plus sign then grab and drag. can record picture or video/voice which records where you move your mouse as well as your voice.

[|www.bibme.com] - free annotated bibliography, offers both apa and mla format

[|www.classtools.com] - random name clicker, click floppy disk icon to save it to your desktop to use it repeatedly

fur.ly - shortens url addresses, once you plug in the 5 urls click create, it will give you a new url link (fur.ly.5tez) and then when the students click the url it gives a navigation tool bar at the top so they can go from page to page

google – advanced search, click filter by reading level.

qwiki.com – can research places, peoples names, other information, presents the information to students through voice, pictures, charts, and text.

wolframalpha – better resource than google, gives you information/answers instead of websites. type big mac get nutritional value, type math problem get answer with graphs, type two states get a chart that compares them

QR codes – smart phone scanning bar codes (restaurants post them outside and when you scan it with your phone it will give you an updated menu for the day), you can even create QR codes. kaywa is a QR code generator. SO COOL!!! Can print the bar codes and they will scan. Scavenger hunt with ipod touch or phone, scan the bar codes of student work in the hallways. Info part 1 is how to generate them and part 2 is educational uses.
