PV-Staff-Shared
One of many photo sharing sites. There are many other sites that mash-up and integrate with Flickr. Once your photos are uploaded to Flickr, there is no need to upload again and you can use the URL provided for different sizes and for other applications as well. You can even get Flickr on your Uverse TV! The free version limits the number of pictures a month, so it can be limiting. Plan what you want to use in other mash ups, etc. and upload those pictures.
Some photos on Flickr are licensed by Creative Commons and you can use them in the classroom. Others are not. Please be legal!! Watch the labels!
Image chef

Kerpoof
http://www.kerpoof.com/Kerpoof is a site that provides a variety of creative tools for animation, drawing, and movie creation. Users can choose from a range of preset characters and environmental options, or they can create their own. The site offers drag-and-drop simplicity coupled with advanced animation and editing capabilities.
Skype
http://www.skype.comThis tool provides free voice and video calling to other Skype users worldwide via your computer. Some uses of the platform include multi-class and cross-district collaboration, professional development, and virtual field trips. We have Skyped with other classes in the school and district, classes in other parts of the world.

CreateaGraph
http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createAgraph/default.aspxA very easy to use online graph creator.
Scratch
This is a fun site created to let students create animation, interactive stories, games, music, games and art. It is an easy way to show how computer programming works. We haven't posted to the gallery due to many inappropriate items there at times. We have used it for basic animation with 1st graders. You build lego-like blocks to make the cat figure move. We have also used it to type and animate their names. It is fun, but time consuming. We have used it to animate the life cycle of a plant. I am still looking for ways to better tie this in to the curriculum without spending a ton of time on it!
First grade scratch on short i sound
Comic Life
We use Comic life in 1st - 4th grade in lots of ways.
Goal setting - each quarter we take the students' pictures and have them record their goals, some teachers include their goals for the students on this sheet as well. Parents love to see them at conferences and what a neat way of watching the children grow throughout the year. They love to go back and look at how they have changed - especially those toothless ones!
Story mapping
Character analysis
Fact sharing - quick and easy nonfiction reports
Storyboarding
Story telling
Graphic organizers
VoiceThread
We are just starting to use this! . As we have issues with posting student photos on the web, we had them create a KidPix drawing of themselves to be used as their identity. Take a look at them.
2nd graders studied Abraham Lincoln and compiled their facts into a class Voicethread! Our first activity was through projectsbyjen
4th graders biography reports take a new twist!
2nd graders reflected on a recent field trip

Animoto
We are currently working on putting together some animoto projects. This is an easy way to create videos and do digital storytelling. We have issues with student pictures on the web, so I included a personal one as an example. The free version limits you to less than a dozen photos, yet it is still amazing!! You will never go back to making slideshows again!
Here is a great one on Science vocabulary!

Google has so much to offer beyond searching!! Go to www.google.com/educators to find activities and lessons.
Google Docs is similar to Word! Create a survey, or test and then send it to the spreadsheet to score for you. You can create "powerpoint" type presentations if you go to NEW and go down to Presentations.
Google Sites is an easy website creator.
Google Scholar is a way to find to research like ERIC searches, scholarly articles that you can use for research.
Google Book Search is just that.
Google Reader After 75 years the copyright has expired so you can read books on Google!
Doodle 4 Google has a contest that closes on March 17 to create their logo.
Google Chrome is a web browser
Google Spreadsheets are just that.
Google Gears takes your Google apps offline
Gmail is a free email service
Google Earth has lessons to coordinate with your literature, history, etc. lessons. Not to mention you can see around the world. Go to the 3D warehouse to see artifacts, buildings, etc. Go to earth.google.com to find searches of 3D places that you are teaching about. Search for kmz files and see what you can find! Requires a pretty big download.
Google Sketchup 7 was just just released. A 3D building tool. If you run Google Earth at the same time, it should take yo to the actual place that you are working on if it is a real place. You can use Sketchup and download images and places that you can use for your sketching. Requires a pretty big download.
Google Notebook is a great place to store your citations
Google 411 on your phone! It is cheaper
Text Google and get the answer to whatever you need texted to your phone
Twitter Plurk
These are 2 great places to create your PLN, Personal Learning Network. You can "follow" people and find out what they are learning and sharing. Can be confusing at first. I prefer Twitter to Plurk, but it is a personal opinion. Sign up for both and then you can find the one that you like!
Second Life
There are so many places to learn on the web! Second Life offers online PD from tons of sources! Personally. I have a hard time finding time in my first life for a Second Life, but there are tons of great learning opportunities avaiable here!
Skype/iChat
We love to Skype or iChat with colleagues in our own building or from around the world! We have joined integrated projects or created our own sharing! If you want to join us, contact innes.kirsten@d46.org or d46kir@aim, skype name kirs10i.
