Students will love creating online stories with My Story Maker. It has a great tutorial and an easy to use "drag and drop" feature. Actions are typed automatically as students create their story. In addition to this, older students can type additional story lines. Give it a try! http://www.carnegielibrary.org/kids/storymaker/embed.cfm

Wallwisher allows you to post sticky notes to a virtual wall. There are numerous personal uses for Wallwisher, but I can also see the potential for its use in the classroom. I recently posted a discussion note on Wallwisher and had students respond. They loved it. We discussed the postings on "the wall" via interactive whiteboard and saved alot of paper too!

Even though the first basic attempts of blogging actually began in the early 1990’s, blogging in the world of education is a fairly new technology trend. Blogging can give students a way to publish their writing for a real-world audience, not just those within their classroom walls. Still, does the thought of organizing such a task sound intimidating, time-consuming, and just plain overwhelming?
