Capzles is a site that allows users to upload images, video files, and documents to create an animated timeline that can be shared and annotated. Great for making historical timelines and interactive multimedia presentations with or for your students.
CreateDebate is a new social community debate platform. Teachers and
students can use CreateDebate to make and participate in polls and
debates relating to any topic that they choose. It is an easy tool to
use, and one that many educators will find very useful. Users can
create for or against debates as well as perspective or discussion based
debates.
Oh Life is a very simple to use web tool that helps users create online
diaries (or at least that was the intention). Oh Life sends an Email
each day asking you what was going on and when you reply to the Email
the response is cataloged by date as an entry in the digital diary site
that is automatically set up for the user. Users can search by date or
by content. This is a great way to get people blogging or journaling on a
more constant basis. It could also be used for character studies for
English class, a science experiment journal, or so many other things.
A web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using high end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Users can produce, remix, and share as many as they like.
A book centered social network where members can catalog, tag, review, and discuss books. Create virtual bookshelves for books that your students have read and will read. Teachers can use it to recommend books to their students. Allow the students to comment on the books that they have been reading in class and allow them to write their own reviews.
Nice work with these Matt... I can't wait to see some of these integrated into a lesson that you design. Oh Life was my favorite. "Create Debate" is one of many of these great sites for debates... your classmates have discovered some others.
