Web 2.0 in Education is a UK based site that includes lots of great links to web 2.0 resources and projects. They have a great interactive Prezi to check out, and one section in particular stood out for me - Comics and Cartoons has great ideas and tools to recommend.

If you have been following Ozge Karaoglu's Digital Storytelling Series, you will be glad to know that she has released part 4 today, so there are yet more great tools to check out for advancing your digital storytelling journeys. On the same theme, I also came across a site by the University of Houston on Digital Storytelling and its uses in the classroom. It is worth checking out.

FreeTechnology4Teachers has a collection of great sites to share with you from the last few days. See the highlights below:

• BigHugeThesaurus does exactly what it says on the tin and more: synonyms, antonyms, rhymes and more.
  
• National Geographic has a great statistical map of the world that would be great to share whole class, or for individual interpretations of our global populations.
  
• If genetics is in your Science curriculum, you will probably appreciate Richard Byrne all the more for highlighting Learn Genetics. It is a useful interactive Science tool.
  
• The final offering from FreeTechnology4Teachers today is 12 Ways for Students to Publish Slideshows Online. Find somewhere useful to show off those PowerPoints.

Successful Teaching has a useful post that highlights a few useful classroom tools that you may or may not be familiar with. For instance, a useful selection of PowerPoint games. For a few years I have used a Who Wants to be a Millionaire PowerPoint to review Science chapters. This and others are here for your perusal.

Finally, I have created a short guide for Using Animoto in the Classroom to Create Free Video Slideshows. It is written for those who have not tried it before and are wondering what it is, or how to get started with it. Please feel free to pass it on to anyone you think would appreciate it. I have also added a link to it on the Articles page.
