Digg Launches New Toolbar - Makes Digging and Sharing Easier
Information on the new Digg toolbar - just put digg.com/ in front of any URL or the diggbar bookmarklet mentioned in this post.
I really only report my super "hot" thoughts on digg but it is a cool tool that I've integrated w/ facebook.
Create and share flashcards - ediscio.com
Online flashcard box that also lets you embed video / pictures into it.
parentella
New website for keeping up with parents and kids - this has just been initially launched and doesn't have a lot of integration with other sites, but could be a great standalone for teachers who cannot access the tools that are out there and don't have an SIS. Try this.
Mobile Vein Authentication Technology
Looks like your veins may become your identification instead of your fingerprints. Interesting.
PeKay’s Little Author
Facebook app that lets you create a graphic story and print it in the form of a picture storybook. Perhaps teachers SHOULD be allowed access to Facebook at work!
Screenr
Instant screencaster from Twitter - cool tool that lets you easily create and share screencasts from twitter. (from @langwitches)
A Virtual Educational Theme Park With Thrilling Adventures For Kids | Wonder Rotunda
Just got an email from this:
"The Wonder Rotunda launched this month. You might call it a 'virtual world's fair!'
This site is a virtual educational theme park designed to get kids thinking
about the planet, what they're interested in and passionate about.
On Wonder Rotunda, kids can do everything from zipline through a tropical
rainforest, steer a submarine through the human digestive system, dive the Great
Barrier Reef or operate a smoothie stand! Jam packed with 13 'game shows,' there
is never a dull moment - yet they are learning and exploring every step of the
way.
And it features NO ads or social chat rooms. All fun and educational.
Created by a D.C. dad who was inspired by the 1964-65 N.Y. World's Fair and
wanted to recreate that experience in a new, fun online experience.
A one year pass to Wonder Rotunda is $45!"
I think we'll continue to see more of this sort of site - at least I hope so. I do like the video on the homepage.
Learn the States and Capitals!
Another game for states and capitals review.
Karooba - Play Trivia - Promote Fun-based Learning - Share Knowledge - Earn Prizes > Home
Got an email from this group - would love to hear from those who have played Karooba -- here is the information they sent me:
"The Karooba site includes the following features:
* One the largest collections of education-based (over 100,000) trivia questions
* Educational games that allow you to:
o Challenge friends around the world in one-on-one trivia games
o Join a tournament on education based topics or set up a tournament of friends or classmates
o Try your luck in a new Find-it game
o Create your own quizzes and see how others score on your test
* State-of-the-art avatar tool (Karoobatar) – create your near real life or cartoon characters
* A real time communications tool (Karoobacator) – Instant message with your friends without the risk of foul language.
Karooba was created and is maintained by a computer consulting firm based in Minnesota. The firm’s staff, which is mostly comprised of parents with school-age kids, is very concerned (like most parents are these days) about what their children view on the Internet. With this in mind, Karooba was designed to be a 'safe haven' where kids can go to play online, as well as learn…and more importantly one that parents (and teachers) can trust. "
louisgray.com: My6sense: An iPhone App for Feeds, With Digital Intuition Built-in
Intuitive feed readers - now that is fascinating in potential but also scary in that perhaps, they could be manipulated (much like our searches are manipulated.) Fascinated and yet curious at the same time.
UDL Book Builder
Use this website to create, read, and share digital books and build reading skills in students. The books you build will be universally designed and accessible -- elementary teachers should be all over this super cool resource.
If You Build It, They Will Read: NECC 2009
My new friend at CAST (and UDL expert) shared this cool resource with me called bookbuilder. This is a link to a presentation and a podcast can be found at - http://www.cyberears.com/cybrss/6373.mp3 about how bookbuilder can be used as a product or tool used students to demonstrate their content knowledge.
I love how each student can have comments or information they post on their slides about a topic. This is very very cool and accessible to all! This presentation demonstrates what can be done and I can't wait to work with the back end!
IPEVO FR-33.2 Skype USB with LCD
This is becoming my Skype phone of choice! I'm really enjoying this little tool! I'll share more about it later but for now, am enjoying testing it!
Twitter iGoogle Gadget
Google Gadget folks -- here is a cool new google gadget for twitter that I'm putting in my sidebar as a gadget on my Windows XP desktop.
