Glogster – or EduGlogster – Digital poster-making sites where students can be really creative using digital images, clipart and word art. Good for collaborative class work. Example by EveryoneKnowsILoveYou.

Wiggio – create a group – a class group or a staff group or a reading group etc – and communicate to the group via this site. Has things like a calendar, to-do list, a group wall, a place to upload files and info, etc.

Spaaze – play with ideas and information using a virtual pin-board. Write information, add pics, move things around – great for planning an assignment or brainstorming ideas.

ToonDoo – create animations, cartoons or digital storyboards using this interactive website.

Prezi – like powerpoint, this program allows you to create visual presentations, but is very flexible and allows a lot more in terms of presentation style and digital freedom. Very exciting development of the older idea. Kids create their presentation online and access when they want to present it. No more losing assignments!

GoAnimate – kids can make their own animated movies online.
