Tool # 5: Web 2.0 Tools

Create your own video slide show at animoto.com.

Animato is great and super easy. I created this video slide show titled "Around the World". This could be incorporated in the classroom in so many ways. Students could create slide shows for social studies projects. I could also see them creating mini biographies on themselves. This could also be used by book clubs to create a slide show on a book they want to share with classmates. The possibilities are endless with this tool.

I used Big Huge Labs to create a trading card using a photo of my nephew. Again the possibilities are endless with this tool. This could be used in social studies and language arts classes. Students could use this tool to create magazine covers, trading cards, etc. describing a book they have read or a topic/person they have researched. This is also quick and fun.
