read terms of service, pupils need to be certain age to access eg voki over 13, 13-18 parental consent

wordle - afkatws on flickr, words used most frequently get bigger, can create hyperlinks from certain words if copy into powerpoint, not kid safe no guarantee of content - suggest use by teachers, better with more text

kerpoof.com - dont need to pay for extension as large amount of free content, can register if want can also collect coins for extra tools, if drag moon in picture goes dark, program knows perspective. Can make movies. If register can share.

toondoo - make your own comic strip - great for special needs - once done if using free account to print use print screen and copy into other software to be able to print.

Teach print screen ideal for anything that uses flash. Could also use SMART software camera.

[|www.glogging.com] - interactive posters - can have music and lyrics - no age restriction but may be images that are not appropriate if put /edu can have a walled garden

tend to get free element and then have a premium element that you pay for

each page has a discussion section. Can set up a page and only allow certain people access. Speak to SMT push easy wins eg digital notebook can monitor using RSS feeds and if set an example of people who dont respect the rules. At lunchtime put an example website per week saying try this. Dont have to be looking at teacher to be listening.

Following pages best used by teachers.

Lots of people do have VLEs although with varying uptake by teachers. Edmodo - set up groups eg for year 7 & 8 can set assignments. Students login and sign up to group to see what have to do, interact with teacher, ask for help. Experiment with an older class.

posterous - blogging site. can email to the site dont have to log on, you email and it recognises email and does rest for you. Kids do homework online this way dont lose books and enjoy more and can go to blog when need revision. When revise good for not just reading, can listen see movement. eg kyleg.posterous.com. Can add many email addresses to one blog so all goes to say blog can enable moderation. Suggest best to not have moderation unless you have to. Allow access to anyone in world as gives them confidence enthusiasm can see other peoples content. Can suggest changes. Cant ignore issue, if limit the exposure then not preparing them for real world. Trust. Easier to do with subject specific and unlikely to be more contentious.

Never share personal details.

Give structure - cause, event, consequence, what should be included.

Privacy settings. copyrights.

flickr - use as a teacher, can tag photos can have public, private or closed garden access. some rights reserved - creative commons - use that rather than total open source

Audacity - recording sound

[] - save favouties on line can access from anywhere, can make private - write something about site and tag - give to JJV as history bookmarks another option diigo

RSS feeds - send information from many sites to one place for me. Takes content but leaves style. Use google reader. Need a google login.
