Glowing with Glogs!

Glogster is a super cool website that allows you do create posters in the cyber-world. This tool isn't only tons of fun - it also allows for tons of creativity. Have your students create a glogster page about themselves as an introductory activity or about any important figure and/or character you learn about throughout the school year.

Comics are Cool

Comics are cool again with Toon Doo! Have students create comics for all sorts of purposes! Have a laugh with characters solving math problems, a comic strip surrounding the Bill of Rights, the plot to a story, analyzing problems and so much more! The possiblities are endless, and students will claim that they are actually enjoying themselves while producing work for your class! Yay!

Text-to-Movie

Xtranormal is an awesome Web 2.0 tool that is Xtracool! With this neat application students can turn any text into an animated video. Want the students to tell a story? Why not do it visually with animation, sound, and various features! I am having my students retell short stories with this tool - Kate Chopin's stories will be viewed in a whole other way! The best thing about this Web 2.0 tool is that it is VERY easy to use. I learned how to manage it within minutes. Try it out - you can't help but have fun!
