2.0 tools

My Juggad is a website where you can make slideshows from web pages. All anyone has to do to obtain this is register with the website online. I feel this would be a good tool to look at instead of PowerPoint. This could save my students money because it is free and online. I believe where ever you can save money for yourself, or your students are good.

Animoto is a video producer that takes a lot of the hard work out of your hands. All you have to do is pick a style, a song, and add pictures or videos and it will combine it with a video for you for free. This would be useful in the classroom if I made them do a video presentation of a historic event. It would cut down the needed class time and increase the amount of material they can put on the slide. This will give us better video slides in less class time so we can move on to the next topic quicker

This is because I believe it is just a neat idea, this website lets you send e-mail that after the person is done reading it, the message self-destructs. The e-mail can also be password protected. If you were sending a teacher to teacher information that cannot be seen by students, this would be a good way to do it. One example would be sending tests answers or possible future tests. Possibly if there were a lock-down, it would be a good way to alert the teachers without alarming the students.

This website is an extensive search engine help for research purposes. This site goes from news, videos, blogs, and more. This would help my students find more specific things to look for about the topic given to them. This will narrow their search possibilities and make for more in-depth research. If I assign a research paper the more in depth, a person goes I feel, the more likely I will be to give them a good grade

Audacity is a voice recording application that allows you to not only record your voice and save it for putting it on other projects. But it can also translate your voice into different languages, all you have to do is download it. This would be helpful if I had my students make a video; this is an easy way to add audio to it. Whether it be a video presentation or a PowerPoint that they submit to me online. It may serve multiple purposes on a variety of topics

Flickr is a photo sharing website that also have good photo editing settings. Also, you can create groups to share your pictures with. I would use this website too if I have the students go see a school play or football game for extra credit. They would take a selfie of them at the football game then post their selfies on Flickr. This would be an easy way to have all of their pictures at one spot.

Comic Master is a fascinating website that helps you make comics. It has preset characters that you can put on a made comic strip and add word bubbles and print it out on one page. If I ask my students to make a comic of world war two propaganda. This would be a good place to put ideas down or to make the full comic. Also, I believe the layout is good and makes for easy use of most high school kids.

Quiz revolution is a potentially very useful website to teachers especially because it is free. It is a website that will help you make quizzes or surveys with its easy to use templates. I would use this as a base for making my tests and quizzes. It sounds like good easy application to work with and will help organize my tests and make them professional. I am glad to have found this website because tests are now a significant concern in my mind, and this website makes me more confident moving forward.

A claymation is a bunch of very quick video shots where the filmed pieces are moved very slightly, so it gives the appearance of a full through video. Clay animator helps with this process by giving them instructions on how to go about making a claymation. I would use this to have my students better understand important battles throughout time. Each group would make a claymation of the battle, and we would show them all in class. Therefore, each student is learning about each war, and they have in-depth knowledge about their war they researched.

This website helps create brainstorming bubbles that help get your ideas downs. This website also has the capability to save and print off your bubbles to take anywhere. If I were to assign a research paper on WW2 leaders, I would have my students start on this website. It's, and easy way to have all your ideas in one spot, to get them down quickly, and this website helps it look better. This will help me be able to read the kids handwriting because it's typed and helps my students read their handwriting later.
