MapsGoogle Maps are everywhere these days. And why not? They are way cool. You can create your own map directly within Google Maps or use many of the sites that have put Google Maps to good use! - Google Map
- Everlater - I love this site - it lets you track a trip across the world, adding text and images along the way.
Podcasting/Audio
Not one of my strengths. I've never really done one myself. Here are a couple sites that come recommended.
Video Editing Any one who has made a movie in iMovie
or Windows Movie Maker are probably a little skeptical of this concept.
There are certainly limitations and perhaps is not the best place to
edit your personal home movies, but these sites have made some real
progress and have some cool features. I hope to use one of these for my
student World War I poems.
Timelines I just found this one a few weeks ago and
will be using it with my students in a few weeks as we review for the
AP World History exam. You get a sense of it with the Wright Brothers
example. You can also make different timelines and compare two of them
at a time. Definitely applicable to a social studies class, but perhaps
language-arts or science as well.
| Comics
Another potential opportunity for students to
some a little creativity while manipulating some real content can be
found at Comiq. You can upload your own images, add text, and create a
story. I know there are some other ones available out there, but this
one seems to be the best (so far at least).
Image Editing
Either as a support to one of the
above production tools or a tool by its own right, online video editing
tools have come a long way. For many, the need for Photoshop is
disappearing.
Other- Bubbl.us - A free online version of Inspiration.
Animation- Blabbize - Animate a picture of your choosing.
- Xtranormal - Lets you create dialogues between animated characters.
