Web 2.0
Madison
Mindmaster- It is a way to make concept maps into PowerPoint. I like it because it is a different way to present a concept map to your students. The only problem with this website is that it is not free. The version she used is limited, but I feel like I would like this more than Inspiration. You can still post hyperlinks.
Spiderscribe- Free account. This is another concept map software. No slideshow aspect. You can do sub topics. You can insert images, word documents, locations, Calendars... ideal for businesses. Older audience, maybe for planning meetings or making lesson plans. The visual aspects are different.
Erika
bubbl.us- Concept map. Free. You can import pictures and simple to use. Would be beneficial for students to use because of its easy navigation.
***lino it- this is a big cork board for you to post notes and pictures and assignments. You can post a link to this on your website for your students to use. This is compatible with the iPhone and iPad and android. Useful to stay organized. Could be beneficial for students to do book work and stuff. I like this site.
Madeline
photobucket- upload photos and videos for people to like and comment on them. You can see what photos are trending. You can search for specific pictures. This would be good to find specific images for presentations. It is free for a certain amount. If you run out of storage then you have to pay for more.
quintura for kids- search engine for kids. Doesn't have enough information. Could be beneficial if you use certain facts and try to use this search engine before you give the kids this plan. It limits the kids from finding things they shouldn't.
Callie
duck duck go- Search engine. it shows that they do not track. it has a filter bubble so it filters out what is unreliable like Wikipedia. I don't really see how this is much different from Google besides having better privacy settings.
GoGooligans.com- academic and educational search engine for kids and teens. It does not work.
Rebecca
Padlet- A blank wall where you can type whatever you want. You can post questions and thoughts and post your name and topic. This could be used for your classroom for notes and questions during a lecture and stuff.
text2mindmap- concept map. Did not work.
Brittany-
Stormboard- share it with students. has different posts for different ideas. You can vote if you like the question. and you comment on it. You have to have the code to access it. The comments will show who posts what. There is not an option to see if there are new comments. I feel like this is too complicated for younger classes.
Ally-
***Instagrok- Mixture of a concept map and search engine. It makes a concept map out of the things that it finds. There is a spot to comment so you can say if it the kids could use. there is a difficulty level so it narrows or broadens the search. There is a spot for a journal entry tab and a quiz tab where a quiz is generated by the searches. I like this a lot. It's free.
Kidtopia- Search engine developed by a school library. You can search by category. such as presidents. the google search bar in this browser is a filtered and safer search tool for kids. There are too many ads that could be inappropriate.
Victoria-
Slime Kids- search engine. You can look at several other search engines for kids. She suggested KidsClick. She typed in George Washington and good information came up. There is a page about Authors and stuff. Its a directory of search engines.
***WikiSummarizer- Picks out the relevant information from the topic you search. You can edit the information. It all comes from Wikipedia so you can learn the relevant information from the subject.
Tommi-
PearlTrees- Pinterest/concept map. You can create a category or select a website. It is compatible with your phone. This could be a way to present a project. It could be a good way to brainstorm or could be a good way to present a project.
***Netvibes- Combination of google and pearl trees. It gives you a blog search video search social search and website search. Everything is organized by category. Good search engine. I like this because it saves your searches and it makes things easier to see.
Mary Kathryn-
***Glogster- Online poster boards. You can make a time line or experiment. Good for projects. I like this.
Audacity- Online recorder. Free. You can record and edit and share your recordings. You can eliminate background noise.
Lauren-
Vimeo- create and share videos. like youtube. use to upload class videos.
Wordpress- Blogs. Looks more like twitter. You can reblog. Good for a classroom. More of a social blog.
Evernote- login to use a note taking document.
Compflight- Images sizes. copy and paste html. shows where the link to use the image.
Diigo- I was being bad and didnt pay attention to this.
Blabber- way to introduce a section to your class by recording your voice as a picture and presenting it to the class. You can make it any different way. Doesn't work too well though. Really cheesy.
***easel.ly- graphic organizer way to share and watch videos, memes, and other documents. i like this better than inspiration.
animoto- create account. kinda like a slide show but more of a video.
book builder- Use to create a book for students. can upload pictures. You can share and read them in class. Digital only. Can you order your book? Digital copy? share it? ebook? They have the option to read it to you.
weebly- make your own websites and make your own blogs. Free. Audio, Video, Images, slideslow, etc.
***storyboard generator- documentary videos for your classroom. I don't understand how to create your own website/storyboard.
tagul- like wurdle. create your own word thing but you can change the shapes and colors and sizes more fitting for your topic.
***edmodo- Facebook for school teachers. LOVE THIS ONE!
***socrative- Online classroom for quizzes and tests and stuff. It seems fun and interactive with the students.
***podbean- Like iTunes Podcasts. good for posting lessons or lectures for students. audio and video.
pixton- Site to make comic strips.
