Resources+for+Organizing+Student+Work


 * Wordle** is a free online program that organizes a variety of words into "word clouds". It is really fun for brainstorming or quick reflections. [|Wordle]

**Voicethread** allows students to record voices and upload images and documents. People can leave comments on the Voicethreads so it is dynamic. The downside is that educators have to pay now to use Voicethreads. I haven't used it myself, but it might be useful. [|Voicethreads]


 * Kerpoof** is a free program that allows students to make comics and movies. My students love this program, but I haven't used it for Exhibition. The one drawback is that the only characters and scenes available are ones created by the program. Students cannot upload their own drawings etc. [|Kerpoof]


 * Glogster** allows students to create interactive posters, where they can post information, add links to websites and include voice overs. All the posters are kept in an online forum. I have not done much with this in my class, but have heard that it has great potential. There is a free membership for teachers. [|Glogster]


 * PB Works** is similar to Wikispaces. Like Glogster, it has a free membership for educators. It could be useful as a way to organize and share resources among students in the Exhibition. [|PB Works for Classroom Teachers]

 * Virtual Brainstorming on Bubbl** allows students to create mind maps (this program is similar to //Inspiration// but it is free).


 * Wiffiti** Students can text in ideas in response to questions. [|Wiffiti.com]


 * Moodle** An online discussion forum for students. [|Moodle]


 * Edmodo** it is set up like Facebook, but you need a password to use it. [|Edmodo]


 * Voki** allows students to use a character and type in text, that the character will say aloud (like an online cartoon character). [|Voki]


 * Survey sites** for kids to create online surveys [|Zoomerang][|Survey Monkey]
