Some great elearning sites....

Here are some fabulous elearning sites i found during the holidays.

I have used tagxedo, story jumper, bubbl.us and animoto with much success.


Glogster Great way to share posters and images you’ve made with friends

Animoto
 Make beautiful videos from images in a snap

Wordle
 Create a beautiful aggregation of any amount of text

DoInk
 Create animations using this simple website

Warning Sign Generator
Make your own caution and warning signs in a flash!

Scratch
 Create and share stories, games, art, etc.

Kerpoof 
Cool way to make a movie, card, picture, and share it all

Tagxedo
Like Wordle but a step farther as text can be used to build bigger images

Bitstrips 
Make and share your own comic strips

Storyjumper 
Easy way to create your own stories for kids and bring them to life

STORY JUMPER

Storyjumper is a great tool for the English classroom.
http://www.storyjumper.com/
It allows students to write and illustrate their very own stories. Plus.... they have the option of printing out their stories or purchasing a hardcover book.... written by them!
This fabulous site would be wonderful for all year groups! I will DEFINITELY be using it when we get back to school...and also to create books for my boys.

BITSTRIPS for schools

http://www.bitstripsforschools.com/

Bitstrips for Schools empowers students to make and share great comics without drawing a line, and lets teachers unlock the educational power of comics!

There are functions for building characters- including physical and personality traits,

functions for multi-authors of a comic strip and also the ability to print, email and share

all comic strips!

This could be an excellent way to get to get students to do Chapter or Act summaries, to

demonstrate existing knowledge and to develop creative writing skills.
