[|http://unique.rasterboy.com/] This site allows you to create an avatar. It is geared toward younger students K-8. I found it to be very appropriate for a school setting. I would use this site to help students develop characters in their writing. I was disappointed that I was not able to save my character at the time of my testing of this site.

[] I love this site! Very easy to navigate and great end product. You are able to create an avatar of your "wild" self. This site promotes the New York Zoos and Aquarium. I would use this in a K-8 science or creative writing class.

[] This site allows you to type in a limited amount of text and create a drawing with the letters. This would be fantastic site for a poetry, art or creative writing unit in grades 3-8. I need to do more research about security as there is a selection of the month.

[] This site has different art projects that have been "assigned" by art teachers. I enjoyed looking through some of the assignments. I would use some of the ideas for assignments and possible choose as assignment and have students post their projects online. The grade levels would probably be from second through eighth grade.

[| http://www.slatebox.com/Index] This site allows you to create brainstorming graphics. You can place your ideas on this site to help organize your thoughts. This would be good for students 3-8. I would have students use this site to create their own graphic organizers, brainstorm of writing assignments or projects, and demonstrate their understanding of new information.

[] On this site you can create your own Monopoly cards with your own text. I would use this in grades 4-8. This tool would work in any subject where you are having students create a board game.
