To start with today, two web based drawing tools that should appeal to elementary teachers. The first is Sketchfu, which comes via DE Tools. Sketchfu lets you draw and record at the same time, so you can share the playback with others online. Could be good for art teachers wanting to teach how to draw something. Playback can be slowed down or sped up. The second drawing tool is Crayola's Digi-Color, as found by Kevin at NCS-Tech. Draw online with Crayola crayons, markers, stampers and more. Great fun.

iTeach has 15 Slideshow Tools for Teachers. Not a whole lot of new content here, but worth bookmarking if you use a lot of presentation based tools. There may be something on here with features you are looking for.

Larry Ferlazzo has linked to the unusual Glitchscape. This online music composer lets you create music by drawing boxes at various points on your screens and looping the resulting tune. Different.

FreeTechnology4Teachers has a list of Six Easy Ways for Students to Create Videos Online. These six tools are a great collection of online video editors. And speaking of videos, has anyone used Fliggo? It looks like a great place to share classroom videos online safely and securely. However, their blog says that they will soon be merging with Vidly, so I don't know how much of this functionality will transfer to the new site. Leave a comment if you use or have used Fliggo in an educational setting. I would be interested to hear what you think.

Finally, if you got any use out of my article on Creating Free Video Slideshows with Animoto in the Classroom, then you may also like Using Glogster EDU to Create Interactive Online Posters. It is a similar beginner's guide on how to get started with the popular Glogster EDU website.
