vodpod for pulling in various videos to the blog or wiki without the need to 'go there' including YouTube

t them to collaborate ideas consider Wikispaces or Google Docs
If you want them to share photos check out Animoto or Flickr or FlickrStorm
If you want to practice orally speaking - make a Voki or create a podcast with Audacity
If you want them to share in a creative way - pick a theme and make a Glogster or Photoshow
If you want to play with words make a Wordle
You can always find tools to do something - start with the goal in mind first and then find the appropriate tool to meet the need.…
op for notes, and you said, "I didn't realize you were still writing with your quill pen and ink!"
That was a reference I needed to jump-start my math/technology integration. My goal is to replace at least one lesson a week with a computer based application...either using the laptop cart, the CPS, or a PowerPoint instruction.

Next step- animoto and cover it live!!!…

that is if I can) I've joined Animoto but haven't used it yet.
I like the idea of collaborating on habitats.
We are currently studying weather, perhaps we could do something with that (especially since it is hurricane season where we live in NC).
Betsye and I are corresponding by email now because it is so much easier to check thorough out the bus school day. Please feel free to do the same if there's something you want me to see quicker. mfreeman@rcsnc.org

e, especially educators, but I guess money is scarce on all ends. I have a funny feeling about this one. I don't see how Ning is going to get everyone to move over to a premium service. Most educators won't be able to do it. Maybe they will cut educators a break like some of the other apps out there. Animoto is a great example. They charge for regular use, but give out educator accounts for free. I give the code to my students. They use it in class, like it, and end up paying for their other "charged" services.
