[|Zoomerang] Zoomerang is a good online resource tool that allows for someone to create or send surveys. It is also very quick and easy to make. [|Toondoo] This is a great website that allows for students to create their own comic strip. Toondoo can be incorporated in the classroom when doing reading and literature, and students will have fun creating it. [|Wordle]: Wordle is tool that teachers can use for students to understand the main ideas or more important points in a specific text. Basically a wordle allows for frequently used words to appear, and these words will appear larger than those that are rarely used in a reading. [|Zoho Show]: This is a great alternative for making a PowerPoint. I personally like the different background designs that one can choose from. This is a very creative and easy way to produce a PowerPoint presentation. [|Animoto]: This is a great website that produces short or long presentations, and incorporates photos into it. Students can choose music to go along with the pictures, and in the end a creative and fun presentation has been made. [|RemixAmerica]: Another fun website that allows for students to make a presentation using different clips from movies, pictures, music videos, etc. Students can get very creative with the different tools that are on Remix America. Wiki: Wiki is a useful tool for students who are working on the same project but may not be able to physically work together on it. It allows for individuals to edit pages from his/her own or others work, or to create new pages. [|Read Write Think]: This is a great resource for teachers to view lesson plans for any subject or topic available. Overall, this is a wonderful resource for reading and language arts. [|SlideRocket]: Slide Rocket is very similar to PowerPoint. The tools that are used in slide rocket are fun and helpful. What I especially like about this tool is that you can access your PowerPoint anytime or on any computer because it is on the web.
