  1. What is Web 2.0?

  2. Web pages frequently change, disappear, and new ones appear. • Schools will frequently block interactive websites by default. • A simple request to your IT staff from you or through your principle to unlock specific sites should get you access. • These sites were chosen because they are free and do not require any downloading or installation of programs on school computers. • Many sites have special teacher access and tools. If you don’t see that offered on the site, email and ask. • Some monthly-fee-only upgrades on available to teachers for free.

  3. You will first need a place to store photoswhere students can get access to them. Check with your IT staff and see if your school has a special method for this. If not, we recommend Photobucket • Easy fast bulk upload, creates instant links for social networking, includes photoshop-like tools, and can make a slide show, can password protect photos so only students can get access • You can a have master account, and make password protected albums for students that they can edit • Flickr is another photo storage option.

  4. Social Networking • Students are natural social networkers, we can take advantage of this • Post photos/slideshows/reports to Classroom Facebook Page • Post photos or links to slideshows/reports on Classroom Twitter page • This will also allow parents to easily see what their children have accomplished

  5. Slideshows • Many websites allow the creation of slideshows • Slideshows can be accompanied by reports by students – voice recorded description or poems, diagrams, arrows, words, descriptions, etc. • VoiceThread:(example 1) (example 2) (example 3) Creates a slideshow where students can record a spoken report, add text to a slideshow, or add video. Other students and teachers can comment and doodle on the images. The comments can be moderated and access to the slideshows can be restricted for security • Animoto:(example 1) (example 2)This website allows students to create music video slideshows with their photos. They can select music from the site or upload their own. • Powerpoint: The tried and true tool is not web-based but is usually readily available at schools. It is a great program to use to create photo slideshow reports.

  6. Blogs • A classroom could start a blog for the school year an post images, slide shows, or other digital photography projects • Blogger is a good choice, no downloading or web-hosting required. Easy to use. • Access can be restricted to only students and parents (or whoever you choose)

  7. Creative Fun • Blabberize:(example) This is a wonderful website that allows students to make photos talk. The “mouth” of a photo is highlighted, and then students record what the mouth should say (using the speakers on the computer or uploading a sound file) and the website makes the mouth move to the words. A great fun way for students to record reports, poems, or songs. • Block Posters: This website can turn images into a giant block posters. A block poster is one that is printed in pieces on regular 8.5 x 11 paper and is then assembled into one large poster. Great for classroom walls or bulletin boards.

  8. CleVR: This website can stitch a bunch of photos together to make a panorama. Students can stand in one spot and take a series of photos of the landscape (that overlap by about ¼ to 1/3), upload all the photos to this website, and the website will stitch the photos together into one big photo.
