Great sites: Wordle.net Polleverywhere- kids can use their cell phones to poll Eyeplorer- graphical knowledge search engine. Look at any concept and it will bring up the map for it. You can put a word in and receive an entire web of ideas. Visual thesaurus- interactive dictionary Flat classroom Projects- connecting and bridging different cultures and people digital textbooks- what are they going to look like? Fanfiction- website in which students can go out and write about the book that they have read ( example Harry potter on fan fiction is huge. There are even different endings and different versions that have been written/ what a great thing) Book builder- teacher experience exchange- free collaboration Intel teach Voicethread-"awesome" One true media Animoto

Multimedia needs to be used more often--- "a picture is worth a thousand words" it can be a shared experience to help your students learn
