 * Website Name:** Middlespot

(1) **Summary** Middlespot allows students to create "mashups" of information including text, video, images, RSS feeds and URLS on specific topics or areas. Students can search the web for sources of information, save them to their specific mashup and then share the mashup with other students.

(2) Critique Middlespot is basically a visual feed aggregator that collects information on the particular topic being researched and then drops it into the student's mashup (almost like a folder or file) where it can then be shared with others. For students who like visual learning, Middlespot is an excellent tool for research as student's can create a visual organizer of their research: an enticing way to engage students in the research process. - Main advantages The main advantages of this type of resource is that it allows students to pick a specific topic, research all aspects of it (video, text, journals, etc) and then create a one page mashup or file of their findings. Students can then access the material by simply clicking on a specific box on their mashup which links them to the original source. - Possible concerns of the website The site is a bit difficult to navigate; having tried the site four times, I have found that many of the click-thrus are inactive or are not showcased at times. Students may find the navigation frustrating which could lead to frustration with the research process.

=Sweet Search= Brooke Di Giacomo 3/23/11 [|Sweet Search]

1. Sumary
Sweet Search is a search engine for students. Every website that shows up in the search results has been evaluated by research experts. Sweet Search can be searched like Google but it also has 6 other different ways to use the site. They offer a search engine for emerging learners, biographies, social studies specific content, a website for teachers and students that is organized by subject and academic level, a site for school librarians and a site where students can "learn something new everyday".

- Possible Innovation Application:
This is a great tool for teachers and students. It has many different uses for the classroom. Teachers can have students safely and reliably search the internet for needed information. Teachers can also use the site to find lesson plans and web based activities for students to use based on grade level or content area.

- Main Advantages:
This site allows for worry free searches. The search results are safe for a school environment and are relevant and reliable sources.

- Possible Concerns of the Website:
While this site is really great for elementary students, it is probably not acceptable for middle school or high school students. A major part of conducting research is knowing how to evaluate your sources. Without the opportunity to stumble across unreliable or unevaluated sources, students will not learn how to conduct research online.

=We Are Teachers= Meagan Ridgell 3.21.11

1. Summary

We Are Teachers is a website designed for teachers to post ideas and lessons for other teachers. You can search keywords, subjects, and grade levels to find the perfect lesson. Teachers can also apply for grants through WAT to improve their classroom or school. WAT includes blogs, videos,, professional development, news, and even jobs available. WAT is a great place for teachers to share all ideas and resources that are available for teachers to become the best they can for their students.

2. Critique

Possible innovation application: This site is applicable to every subject and any technology. All you have to do is search what you are looking for on the site and it gives a list of lessons. It's great!

Main advantages: I love that the lessons are already prepared. Find a lesson, read it over, and decide if you would like to use it in your classroom.

Possible concerns of the website: My only concern is that there are so many lessons to choose from. The search engine helps reduce irrelevant lessons. =KidBlog= Nicholas Provenzano March 9, 2011 KidBlog.org

(1) Summary

Kidblog is a blogging site designed for students. What separates this site from the many other blogging sites is that it allows the teacher complete control over the set up. Teachers can create personal blogs for all of the students without the need for email addresses. This is good because of federal CIPA rules that prevent children of a certain age from using various websites. The teacher creates the login and the password and the students can have a space to blog on the internet safely. The teacher controls who can and cannot see and comment on the blogs. If the teacher chose, only the teacher and the student could see the blog posts.

(2) Critique

I personally use this site and find it very innovative. Many of the problems I faced in having students blog were solved by using Kidblog. I no longer had to rely on the student created blog or email addressed. I was able to create the individual blogs I needed for my students and I can control the access from my control panel. I use it for my daily class blog. I created the blog and user accounts for each of my students. They now all have access to their specific class blog and can keep notes and other information in one place. I also used the site to create literature circles to share thoughts with students from Van Meter, Iowa. The students loved sharing and connecting with others who were reading the same stories.
 * Possible innovation application**

The main advantages of using this tool is the ability to control the content and comments on a blog. Everything is fed through the teachers control panel. The teacher can choose to allow comments or not. All posts mihgt require teacher approval. The flexibility is one the best parts of this tool.
 * Main advantages**

My only concern is that students sometimes post their comments on the wrong blog site if they are attached to more than one at a time. It is a minor concern, but I have emailed them and asked if there was an easier way to switch between blogs so students can ensure they are in the right spot when blogging.
 * Possible concerns of the website**

**Megan Biller** 3/18/2011 [|Moodle]

**(1) Summary **

Moodle is a course management system that allows you, the educator, to create an online course (or hybrid course, or even an online supplement). In this system, you can create links of websites or files, add activities such as assignments, forums, lessons, quizzes, surveys and even wikis!

**(2) Critique **

- //Possible innovation application//

As an educator utilizing Moodle in my curriculum, this is an excellent resource to supplement your lessons while allowing the students to work from home. Since I have limited time with my students (and LOTS of curriculum to cover), this allows me to add assignments such as discussion forums, online quizzes, and even a location for students to turn in their assignments digitally!

- //Main advantages//

In my case, the main advantage is that students can work from home (or their local school) and complete the assignments from beyond our classroom. It also allows me to see the progress of the students from one easy location.

Another advantage is that this allows me to bring current events into the curriculum through the discussion board. It allows the students to voice their opinions and thoughts while learning about their classmates at the same time. It’s an easy way for students to ask questions, communicate with their classmates – and learn at the same time!

- //Possible concerns of the website//

The biggest concern is actually learning how the website works. The teacher would most likely need to be trained in how Moodle works, as well as all that is available to utilize.

Another concern is those students who do not have internet access at home. The deadlines have to be long enough so that those students are able to work during ‘downtime’ in their classes, or can go to a public library (or friends house) to use their computer.

=Free Technology for Teachers= 3/22/11 [|Free Technology for Teachers] Wendy Watson

__Summary__ The free technology for teachers is a website that provides free resources that are technology based. There are numerous links to various topics and contents. This site provides insight to many types of lessons and methods for introducing technology into the classroom. This resource provides free downloads, resources for creating videos, creating blogs and websites, constructing professional learning networks, and Google tutorials.

__Critique__ There are many possibilities for educators to use this website. There are multiple applications addressed in this resource. With the application of creating videos, teachers can create student videos as well as teacher created videos to use in the classroom. Videos are a great way to introduce students to content information, do demonstrations, and even create their own presentations. There are also implications to incorporate current issues from around the world based on content found on the site.

__Main Advantages__ One main advantage to this site is that there are videos, downloads, as well as numerous lesson ideas all found in one location that deal with using technology in the classroom. Not only does it provide the information, the hyperlinks are in place to take you directly where you need to go. Another advantage to this site is that it is in the form of a blog, so it is updated on a regular basis. The great thing about the regular updates is that it contains information about current events such as the tsunami in Japan in addition to the technology uses. With the updates, there is also an archive located directly on that home page, which is found on the right hand side of the page. This site would be a great resource to add to any RSS feed.

__Possible Concerns__ As with any other website that involves using technology, there is always the possibility of having the website blocked by your local school district. When I attempted to open the website from my school computer, there were many items on the page that would not open. Some of these included pictures and videos. This was also an issue when I attempted to open some of the hyperlinks. Also, because the site is blog-based, you must be careful about bias and influencing students. From what I saw, there was nothing that seemed to be bias in nature, but I have not browsed all of the links on the site.

Niambi M. Pringle 3/21/11

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Summary: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">This online resource is set up to provide examples of tools and technologies that teachers as well as school districts.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Critique: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">The web design is set in basic blue and white colors which make it very appealing to the eye. The few red markings stand out to inform you that there is important information to further navigate.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Possible Innovation Application: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">This online resource page gave several innovative application ideas. I most enjoyed the examples of how to create digital storytelling. Also, it listed 20 technology skills that teachers must know; however, I see that it is something that the students should know as well.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Main Advantages: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">This resource provides a variety of free resources. This is a great advantage for the current budget crisis in America.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Possible Concerns of the Website: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">This website is sponsored by hp and Intel; therefore I am concerned about the motivation of establishing this resource. In addition, it appears to be geared toward K-6 and therefore not very advantageous for secondary education.

=<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Story Jumper = <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">3/23/11 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">[] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">Linda Collins

__Summary__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The Story Jumper is a free digital storytelling creater tool website that allows students to create stories, add drawings and photos. In addition, students are able to publish their stories to share with others. This site provides a Classroom Edition guide for teachers with free lesson plans. Also, parents and students have resources available so they are able to use them at their homes.

__Critique__ There are many ways in which educators can use this website for any subject area. Digital storytelling is an excellent way to incorporate writing for any subject. The site lists different projects ideas for teachers. In addition, the website has a list of sections for review such as question/comment section, free sample books, and how to download the software. It is an excellent tool for students to express their creativity skills through digital storytelling. Students are able to publish their books and have their families purchase them for gifts. __Main Advantages__ One main advantage to this site is that the Classroom edition provides step by step from start to finish instructions are very easy to follow. The lesson ideas and sample books all found in one location for educators to use as resources. There is a sample demonstration video on how to use the software. The site provides all the three learning styles of auditory, visual and kinesthetic learner. __Possible Concerns__ As with any other website that involves using technology, is the possibility of having enough bandwidth available to use the site. Also, if the child is a minor they must have their parents or guardians create and register the account. Many households do not have internet or loss their services due to the current economic situation. Therefore, this would be difficult task to ensure that all students are able to use the site

=21Classes Cooperative Learning= 3/24/11 21 Classes-Free Classroom and Education Blogs Gloria K, Cousins

__Summary__ 21 classes is a system that can be used by the instructor to set up a class blog with the instructor as the administrator in the 1st layer, and individual students' blogs as the 2nd layer__.__ The 2nd layer of the website is unique in that the students get to create individual blogs, but the instructor can edit and delete entries before their sites are published. __Critique__ This site has security and control features that are unlike traditional blog sites in which the instructor requests url info from the students. Because of these features, it is easier to persuade school administrators and parents on the value of the tool. The students can be creative with the instructor as the editor. __Main Advantages__ Individual student blogs can be accessed from the same location. There is more web space available for their blogs, and there is class home page for the instructor to communicate with the students. The option is available to make all the students' writings private, and the main advantage is that the instructor can edit or delete anything inappropriate before it is published. __Possible Concerns__ The concern that //I// have is that the basic free account can only accommodate 10 students. If the school chooses to upgrade, they get more webspace,up to 100 students can have blogs, and technical support is available for a fee. During the initial installation phase, if the school has a basic free account, they have email support if they have problems or concerns.

= Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators = [] 3/27/2011 - RMatthews

Kathy’s Website is noted within Discovery Education and has a large compilation of links to different educational sites for every curriculum area, search engines, and professional development. This is a great reference site for any educator. The site has information for administrators, parents, students, and teachers. For students and parents, there are links to homework help. For instructors, the site links have great quality information, including information related to doing presentations, podcasts, webquests, assessments, and rubrics. This is a great site to bookmark for anyone. I personally love it!
 * (1) Summary **

- Possible innovation application This site has references to many different websites for every curriculum area with quality information.
 * (2) Critique **

- Main advantages The site has a wide range of curriculum areas. They also offer an alphabetic list of sites to choose from, as well as by curriculum area. It is a site that includes just about everything imaginable. There is also a search engine.

- Possible concerns of the website Some searches may not bring up all of the sites that you may be looking for based on the detail or keywords entered. I have found that the best thing is to go through the sites in the curriculum areas or the alphabetical list to find what I am looking for.

=﻿Magic Studio= Jennifer Patrick 3/27/2011
 * Website Name:** @http://www.magicstudio.com/

Magic Studio provides users with simple and understandable interactive tools for designing educational learning resources. These easy web-based gadgets allow users to either transform current resources or create original resources using videos, pictures, and audio. Some of the main features include: a dashboard, library, widget, content channels, tags, preview option, and automatic save.
 * (1) Summary**

This site can be applied to any academic subject. Teachers and students can utilize this resource to enhance learning. Teachers can use the Drag and Drop Activity to measure student understanding of a particular subject. Teachers can use their own images as labels and provide feedback messages to students to access during the activity. Students can create timelines to present newly learned information just by adding dates, text, and media. They have the option of previewing their work during the process. My favorite interactive tool from Magic Studio is the hotspot feature. Just click on the section of picture you want to highlight, give information about that particular image (can even include pictures) or add a video. Students can scroll around images to find the hotspots and add to their prior knowledge about the subject.
 * (2) Critique**
 * -Possible Innovation Application**

One main advantage to this tool is that it provides its users with a widget and dashboard to guide users with simple navigation. These functions guide users to recently shared items, buttons to carry out actions, and tags to search content. Another advantage is that users have the option of selecting the Show Me function which grants users the power to display what they want to see on the page. An additional advantage for this resource is that users can rate or comment on shared resources.
 * -Main Advantages**

Like all technology concerns, availability issues may occur in your building and this resource may be blocked. Another downfall to this resource is the age limit requirement for using it. Users must be 16 years of age or older to utilize this resource. An additional concern occurs when you register to become a member. They ask for a lot of personal information: name, school name, email, birthday, and gender.
 * -Possible Concerns of the Website**

=Encyclomedia= Justin Knull 03/27/2011 Encyclomedia is on online video encyclopedia with short video clips about the subjects rather than written text. Most of the videos are under three minutes in length, and videos can be found sorted into 7 main categories: Travel, Science, Nature, Animals, Health, History, and Fun. Each of these categories contains various sub-categories, and the entire collection is search-able.
 * (1) Summary**

The videos in the collection could easily be used to supplement classroom instruction when the content is applicable. Every video in the collection comes with HTML code that can be used to embed videos into other web pages. Teachers who maintain websites for their class could easily use these videos with widget tools as a resource for students in or outside of their classroom. In addition to teacher use, these videos could also be used by students researching for a project and possibly embedded into wikis they may be creating for class projects. All of the videos are in streaming form, and they are free. Video clips are short and to the point; I could not find a video over three minutes in length. Every video on the site comes with an HTML embed code in order for teachers and students to use the videos on their own pages. There is a great selection of History videos, especially focusing on the Civil War, WWI and WWII. All of the clips I found seemed to be clips taken from professionally produced documentary pieces, so the content should be reliable for the most part. There is a somewhat historical feel to the videos in the History section. Content being age-appropriate may be a big concern with this site. When I got to the site, the top two video clips on the page were about the discovery of the Holocaust (dead bodies) and a video about Anna Nicole Smith posing for Playboy. This content might not be viewed as school appropriate, especially at lower grade levels. Also, outside of the History section, there is not a ton of material available for other subjects. There is some Science material, but there are no Math videos. Being that it is a site explicitly intended for streaming video, there is a chance that it could be blocked by school networks.

ZooBurst
ZooBurst is a digital storytelling website where students and teachers. This website differs from other digital storytelling applications in that it can take it to a whole new level of “storytelling”. This website allows the user to create a 3D pop-up book. It feels a lot like telling a story, page by page. The graphics and interface of the overall website is one that would appeal to young children or teens (whether they were learning from a teacher-created page or if they were to create their own for a presentation. There are a number of different ways in which this website could be used in the classroom. First of all, from a teacher standpoint, the instructor could create digital stories about the biography of a famous author for an English class or a history class could learn about Ancient Greece by creating a digital scrapbook. Students can use ZooBurst as individuals or in small groups for creating a 3D pop-up book portfolio of their own pieces of art or photography work (by uploading images and text). Creative Writing students could upload a selection of their poems and images that express the mood and tone behind the words. Overall, the greatest use for the ZooBurst website is to create something and then present it, which can be a great learning tool. The main advantages include the ability to catch and hold the attention of students because of the interactive interface. A lot of information and images can be placed within each “storybook”. It is easy to set up, upload images, add text, and organize. There is a library of pre-loaded images to choose from, or the user’s own images can be uploaded as well. The user gets to select their own background to individualize the storybook. Privacy settings can also be set to determine whether it is open to the public or if only select users can view the storybook. Finally, in its basic form, ZooBurst is FREE to use. Anything that is free has already started out on the right foot! There are definitely some drawbacks with using this website in the classroom. The basic version of this website is free, but it only allows one teacher to create 10 storybooks. (It does not allow for the teacher to create usernames for their students under this basic version). The “free” version also only allows for 10 pages per storybook, where if you choose to upgrade and pay some money, you’re allowed unlimited books at up to 50 pages each. The “free” version does not include sound effects, activity templates, or the ability to record your own voice (where the upgrades do). The “free” version also comes with company ads posted on the sides of the storybook. If you choose to upgrade, the cost is $9.99 a month (yikes!) or $49.99 a year. The teacher would then have the ability to add student users, sound options, unlimited books, more pages per book, with no advertisements gumming up your pages. I’d be curious to know if anyone would actually pay money to get the extra features or would settle for doing the little that they can under the “free” version.

March 27, 2011 =**Splashup**=
 * Brian Anderson**

Splashup is a free-to-use online photo editing package integrating all the tools "professionals expect and novices need." Splashup is a feature-rich alternative to licensed software such as Adobe's Photoshop Elements (MSRP $99). In addition, Splashup provides photo management options for uploading images to sites like Flickr and Facebook.
 * 1. SUMMARY**

I fully intend to implement this web resource in my computer science class. For my Digital Design students, it will replace Paint (an included accessory with Windows) and Gimp 2.0 (freeware) to edit digital photographs. Using this package, students will learn the effects of cropping, cutting, layering, transparency, and much more. The use of this program will enhance the presentation of all their projects, especially the music video production. Besides, this resource is so closely modeled after Adobe's Photoshop (the industry standard), that students who encounter Photoshop in future endeavors will be that more prepared and comfortable with its use.
 * 2. CRITIQUE**
 * __Possible Innovation Application__**

__**Main Advantages**__ Splashup is compatible with many of today's Internet browsers and its interface opens in a separate window which resembles and acts very much like Photoshop featuring movable toolbars and resizable windows. Splashup also includes many of the popular tools necessary to effectively edit digital photography. In a direct comparison with Photoshop Elements, Splashup includes:


 * **Image Source:** Splashup will import an image directly from any file source or capture from a webcam. Splashup also saves to both .jpg and .png formats as well as saving as an editable file format for future use.
 * **Edit:** Traditional features such as 'Copy/Paste' and 'Undo/Redo.'
 * **Tools:** Rectangular Marquee (selection), Crop, Lasso (selection), Free Transform, Rotate, Line, Shapes (limited selection), Gradient, Pencil, Brush, Paint Bucket, Eraser, Smudge, Text, Eyedropper, and Foreground/Background Color.
 * **Image:** Both Image Size and Canvas Size are included.
 * **Layers:** Add, Remove, Move, Merge, Horizontal and Vertical Flip
 * **Layer Effects:** Blur, Bevel, Drop Shadow, Glow, and Gradient
 * **Filters:** Sharpen, Blur, Add Noise, Pixelate, Hue/Saturation, Contrast/Brightness
 * **View:** Fixed Zoom Intervals

Unfortunately, Splashup does not include some of the outstanding features that make Photoshop the distinctive leader in photo editing. Again, as compared to Photoshop Elements, Splashup is missing:
 * __Possible Concerns of the Website__**


 * **Tools:** Polygonal Lasso (more organic selection), Elliptical Marquee (selection), Magic Wand (variable selection), Clone Stamp (duplicate), Custom Shape Tool, and Red Eye Removal
 * **Enhance Features:** Auto Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Sharpen, Adjust Color
 * **Select:** Modify and Feather (softening of selections)
 * **Filters:** Artistic (i.e. colored pencil, fresco, pastels), Brush Strokes (crosshatch, spatter), and Texture (grain, mosaic tile, stained glass)
 * **View:** Variable Zoom, Rulers (exact alignment), and History (document editing)

Although the above mentioned features allow for more advanced photo editing, Splashup does include the major ones necessary for proper and effective editing. I have no concerns about using this website and its associated software. There are no third-party advertisements to distract or misguide users which is extremely advantageous for an educational setting. Of course, depending on prior experience using photo editing software, there may indeed exist a learning curve in how to use all the various tools.

The site is aimed towards k-12 educators. The web-site believes that integrating technology into classroom is the way to prepare students for the global digital workforce. The web-site gives several choices for users to explore such as: practices, blogs, contests, webinars, tech forum, video, magazine, partner sites, resources, and tips. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> ** <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">(2) Critique ** <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Possible Innovation – Funding for school districts have been depleted lately, and professional development opportunities are hard to come by. This web-site gives great advice how to use technology in the classroom. Technology improves at a rapid rate, and teachers need to stay current on technology. This site makes the teacher’s job a little bit easier. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Main Advantages – The main advantage of the web-site is it a great source for educators to learn a lot about technology. It has many options for educators to navigate through without wasting time searching all over the web. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Possible Concerns – The main concern that I have is motive behind the creation of the site. There is a lot of advertising on the website. I understand that everything needs funding, but when you have special interest it is hard to tell if there is a bias in the material provided on the site. The site also peddles books that are affiliated with the creator of the site. <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit,serif; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit,serif; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit,serif; font-size: 9pt;">
