I believe this website is good for them.

http://vocaroo.com/

This is a user-friendly online voice recording tool. Students can record their voices easily and save their recordings in several formats. You don't even need an ID to use it.]]> 2016-10-23 06:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/132523018 elenitalee2014 https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/133594206 I needed an online tool to share pictures, videos and documents with my students and found this useful.

https://www.dropbox.com/

Dropbox is an online sharing site. You can create individual folders and share them with others or you can create a folder and share it with your entire classmates. It is a great way to collaborate and share. ]]> 2016-10-27 12:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/133594206 elenitalee2014 https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/135559059
thinglink is an easy-to-use program. You can make a photo or image interactive. This means that you can add links, videos, comments, etc. to an image. 

Here is an example of a completed thinglink. https://www.thinglink.com/scene/753329563970306049
How does it look? I think you might use this for your presentation. 

Fllowing the instruction of this video will be the easiest way to learn how to use this online tool. 

1) upload 2) tag 3) share]]> 2016-11-05 17:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/135559059 elenitalee2014 https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/136397571
Students have some chances to use tools for presentations for a contest or an assignment.

Some of them feel Power Point is too common and want something different. 

"Prezi offers a much more dynamic take on presentation software. You can create presentations with lots of motion and zooms to bring your presentation to life. You cannot download your Prezi, but you can access them from anywhere with a reliable Internet connection."

Students are supposed to come up with a rubric they made next time. That's why I bring up with this online tool, Rubistar. 

It is a recommended Internet tool for creating rubrics: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php

You must join RubiStar (it's free) and sign in to save your rubrics. Here is a handout for joining Rubristar and creating a rubric.]]> 2016-11-17 13:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/138375996 elenitalee2014 https://padlet.com/elenitalee2014/n0bgyqhukd0f/wish/139956495
Below is a video on how to use it for your assignment.
