 * 4) Tips/Hints

 * 6) To view examples (if available)

Weebly
 * 1) Weebly.com-domain area to create free and user-friendly webpages
 * 2) Teacher activity
 * 3) Weebly has many hands on functions, it has a simple and visual tool menu(s), editing is simple.
 * 4) Tip: Weebly is public-DO NOT post pictures or personal information on there that you wouldn't want everyone and their uncle to see. Tip: To import images easily from any computer you can use the Internet (google images or pics4learning.com), find your image and select it. Hit right click, select copy shortcut. Go back to Weebly page and paste that shortcut into the upload box. Then your image should show up. Sometimes there are errors, just delete and try another!

Prezi
 * 1) Prezi.com-remarked as "powerpoint on steroids", a different and interactive way to present information. It is a nice alternative to powerpoint, it lends to less "words" on one page to make a more interesting and interactive presentation.
 * 2) Student or teacher, depending on grade level. I have used it for a staff presentation at a meeting, high school teachers have shared presentations that their students have made.
 * 3) It's different! It's something new to try and WOW's your audience.
 * 4) Hint: become familiar with the "wheel" function and watch the tutorial..it really will help explain the user functions.

Glogster
 * 1) Glogster.com-a visual and computer based poster
 * 2) Student or Teacher
 * 3) A different way to present information or create a publication material. Has many interactive components such as music, videos etc. For early elementary we created one as a large group to help reinforce retelling and comprehension about "The Three Little Pigs".
 * 4) Tip: Sometimes the program can be slow to respond. Tip: Pictures can be imported, but again may become lost or not work.

GoAnimate
 * 1) Goanimate.com-create your own cartoon movie!
 * 2) Student or Teacher, again depending on level
 * 3) Another format to present information, we all know kids LOVE media and movies. For early elementary purposes I created one based on a social skill, personal space, and used it as another resource within a classroom lesson.
 * 4) Tip: Be cautious when allowing students to use, there can be some mischevious behaviors for the characters-it is BEST to use the education version for students, then the characters are safe. For your own use, however, the regular version offers many more characters, scenes and options.
