More Web 2.0 Tools-DE Streaming Alternative

IPTV:PBS Learning Media
This web site provides the immediate alternative for showcasing items related to Discovery Education.  PBS Learning Media provides opportunities for teachers to locate videos, digital resources, interactives, audio, photos and provided lesson plans to then be able to showcase on their computer to all of their students.  Currently this web site provides 3 free resource views and after the 3 have been used a free account needs to be created to further access the material.  This resource is brand new and would best be used solely by teachers to project and showcase to their students.

Go Animate
After creating an account you and/or your students can animate a story you have created on paper.  You can add your scene, choose your characters, type in your dialogue and choose the voice that your characters will speak aloud in and then preview your finished product.  So your students become the writer of their story, to the animation creator of their story, being able to type in the dialogue with each character for their story to be read aloud through animation.

Pic ReSize
Just like it sounds, this web site allows you to alter pics with reducing their actual size, reducing their memory size, and much more.  You can crop the picture, rotate the picture, resize the physical size of the picture, change the image extension to jpg, gif, png, bmp, and add cool effects to the picture.  After you apply these options you can then resave the picture to be used again and/or printed.

Socrative
This is a smart student response system that allows you to provide a plethora of question options and choices to students through an online "room," where they can then answer the questions and choices to better asses their learning.  The students do not login, they just access a certain web address along with typing in the correct room # that you provide to them, and it takes them to the student response system to gather their information based on the answers they have provided.  You are then supplied with visuals to showcase the student(s) responses.
