Two sites I recommend checking out similar to Garageband are Myna and Jam Studio. I think in Myna you can record your own audio, so can do an Audio Podcast, not sure about adding pics. Myna - http://cyber-kap.blogspot.com/2009/09/myna.html Jam…

Fiddlehead looks interesting. Do you know of anybody using it successfully? I'm assuming it can work wirelessly, too? I'm definitely passing this on. Thanks!

Thanks, Sue. I looked on Adobe's site and found this: http://www.adobe.com/education/instruction/adsc/netbooks.html The page was entitled: Photoshop Elements 8 teacher resources for netbook

We have a full cart of MacBooks, but the district will not pay to have them fixed once they breakdown since we're shifting over to Netbooks. It is certainly my intent to use them till they break, but I want to be prepared for that eventuality.

Agreed - movie editing will not be easy on a netbook - can you maintain a lab full of macs, or at least a set of MacBooks for movie specific needs? Generally not every single kid needs a high powered machine all at the same time - movies can be done…

Thank you for the reply. The district is still debating which machines to purchase, but it will likely be the cheapest netbook. I'm assuming new purchases will offer Vista, XP or 7 - which means I should be able to download version 6.0.

cprofitt, We're running MAC OS X 10.5.8 at the moment. The plan is to pick up Netbooks for next year. I'm unclear what comes standard on a netbook, but we'll likely go with lowest bidder, so whatever is cheapest is what we'll…

You can look at photostory as well depending on what you're doing. As far as a Garage Band replacement, there isn't a free one I've found. Audacity is a great free audio editor but it doesn't come with loops.

If you are moving to pc's, all windows machines will have movie maker loaded on them. It is a basic movie editing system. The version of Windows you are running will dictate what version of movie maker you will have. The best version available…

I love the iFifth site. It's great to see other Elementary School Teachers using blogs in the classroom.

Move from MAC to PC - need iMovie/Garage Band equivalents

Our district is considering a move to PC from MAC with a focus on using Web 2.0 applications instead of software.  At the elementary level, I get a lot of use out of iMovie and Garage Band (primarily for podcasting).  Are you aware of any Web 2.0 applications that allow for easy and quick video upload?  Any sight I have tried either limits size or is incredibly slow.  I've found nothing comparable to Garage Band.  I teach 5th grade, and like the students to be able to independently create their…See More

I'd stop short of calling it 'great', but I have a blog for 5th graders that includes embedded video, VoiceThread, WallWisher and other media elements. Please feel free to use it (and let them know that students created everything…

Yes, I have! What I like about using it with SMARTboard is the rest of the class can watch as each student comments on a photo. Also, using the 'doodle tool' on VoiceThread, students can draw on the picture using their fingers as…

I had never heard of glogster previous to this posting. Wow! What an incredible tool! I have fifth graders, so I'm always looking for ways to make my site more appealing and accessible. Thanks for the tip! I definitely agree - starting my own…

I think I would have to go with VoiceThread. It has been a fantastic tool for challenging my students - especially my ELLs. I've had students use it to practice using figurative language, present research on science units, and to comment on…

This is a great idea, Lynn. I'm currently running two blogs. The first is my classroom blog (5th Grade), Mr. R's Digital World. I've also just began a professional blog to discuss my experiences using Web 2.0 applications and other…
