Resources- Websites for Learning

Websites- Websites are simply sites on the world wide web. It is important to remember that not all educational websites are created equal. Ultimately it is up to us to preview websites and decide whether or not the site is worth our student's time, meets the objective(s) of the lesson, and is easy to navigate.

Multi-Media


Voice Thread

Voice Thread is a tool for digital storytelling. Simply upload photos or video and comment using the built-in microphone, text tool or your phone. To share the project, simply send the link to parents or other teachers and they can leave comments on the project. This is also a great tool for showing the steps in a process, a timeline or having students introduce themselves to the class.


Animoto

"Animoto automatically produces beautifully orchestrated, completely unique video pieces from your photos, video clips and music. Fast, free and shockingly easy." Simply upload photos, video clips and/or music and let animoto do the rest. This is a simple way to showcase learning in the classroom, whether it is one unit or a year in review. Here is an example of how we have used it at Central School.
