Ideas for the classroom:

• Students can use Voki to create a class introduction, recording a message and using an avatar that resembles themselves.
• Students connect with others, by exchanging these Voki recordings with other classmates, and with other students in other schools.
• Foreign language students can use Voki to speak “in character” for different role-play assignments.
• Students can orally share their “writing pieces.”
• Anyone can use it for a classroom “newscast.”
• Can be used as an item in a student electronic portfolio
• As an “authentic” foreign language experience, students are writing, reading, revising, and speaking to an audience.
• To aid resource students, teacher can record oral pronunciation of vocabulary words as a review-guide for upcoming assessments.
• Teachers can get attention by letting their VOKI give the instructions.

Smore is a service for quickly creating great-looking webpages. Smore markets itself as a service for creating online flyers, but it's a little bit more than that. To me "flyer" implies that you're creating a single-use PDF and posting it online. Smore's flyers are dynamic and changeable, they're not single-use PDFs. Your Smore flyers can include many types of media including videos. Deleting or adding elements to your Smore flyer is as simple as dragging and dropping them on or off your page. 

Haiku Deck, an iPad app which now has a Web version, may very well be the best tool for creating online slideshows that are out there.

Easel.ly  is hands-down the easiest tool I’ve seen on the Web to create infographics. You just “drag-and-drop” a variety of themes, type in your data, and you’ve got a great infographic.

Ideas for the classroom:

• Complete a project on a famous composer and add video clips from a symphony orchestra playing his or her pieces
• Complete a project on their instrument and add audio files and photographs of the instrument
• E-folios
• Create posters for various projects
• Create posters to be presented at an art show or music concert
• Create a poster that summarizes key content of a unit of study, basically an online study guide for students
• Inventive presentation tool for Senior Projects and group projects.
• Can be used as a form of assessment (midterm exam or final exam)
• Create a "getting to know me" poster for beginning of the school year to promote positive class culture
• Create a class mission statement using graphics and text
• Have students create a flow chart of the content covered
• Science Fair Projects - students could take a video or audio recording, depending on their project, of their experiment and place it on their poster. They could have their research available and any info on other scientists, theories, and/or experiments that are relevant. Various pictures of their experiment could be included as well. The general interactivity of glogster would make a science fair much more interesting for students (Jeannie J.)
• Create posters to answer Essential Questions to develop meaning for content and lessons.
