BC+Online+Teaching+Tools+Review

Toondoo - Love it. Its very easy to use and most of all we can use in class, especially if you are working with younger students, to make up comic book stories and get the kids excited about a topic. With older students, it can be used as another way of assessing understanding and creative self expression tools.

Color in Motion - Very fun graphics and I really appreciate it is both in English and Espanol. It would be a blast to use with younger students but it can also be used in fun activities with older kids.

Ilike2learn.com - AWESOME! As a social studies teacher I will for sure use this site for some classes. I am personally obsessed with maps so this site is right up my ally. Very fun and interactive way for our students to learn geography. Great great resource. A little random that the language option is only Russian. I would be even greater if there were all the major world languages included.

HeroMachine - I had an interesting time designing my own hero and while I had fun doing it the only way I can imagine myself using it in class would be when teaching history of empires. It would work to have student recreate the dress of the ancient Greeks and Romans for example as a fun way to learn.

xtranormal - Good resource for self expression and interactive learning. The teacher can make videos directly related to the topic at hand.

animoto - Also great and very fun.

Tradecard generator - Right away I got the idea of building decks of cards for teaching History or Politics. We could have battles or congressional campaigns where each player has an opposing side. Just plain old fun to.

Zoho - I have to get into it and explore more of it but I love that I has so many applications. I'm definetely opening an account.

Readwritethink - Great for school newspapers for students to use. Fun and very easy to use.

Remixamerica - Just from the sample Wendy showed us its a sweet site for creative learning that students and teachers can use. I'll be playing around with it and see what I can come up with, but just from quick browsing it seems easy enough.
