Resource Tools: Nabble and Animoto

Nabble.
 It creates free forums and embeddable apps.  I can create a blog, newspaper, mailing lists, or photo gallery.  Blogs have become so prominent in this technology run time and here is an easy site to create one.  Being embeddable is nice because you can add it to your website or webpage and all the functions work. This would be helpful in adding more information to a website or allowing others to add comments to something you have posted. This is just another way for teachers to supply material in another format that varying students can learn from.

My second Web 2.0 tool is Animoto.  You can create 30 second videos using still images and add in music or voice over.  This could be used for a student to present a small project or for teachers to present small bits of information. I see this as being used as a bell ringer where I play the quick clip and the students respond to the prompt or free write their input/opinion on the topic.
