Day Four - Techie Tools!

By Christina, Sydney, Sophie

Today we wanted to share with you our favorite techie tools, and we want to hear your favorites, too.  These are tools but also web sites, but when we say tools, we mean programs that you can use to create stuff online.

Check out our list of techie tools on our site by clicking here!

Our first must be Weebly!  It is a super easy online tool that lets you make your own web sites.  You can add pictures and all kinds of fun stuff.

We love Skype!  Who doesn't love Skype!  You get to talk to loved ones near and far.  On Digital Learning Day, some of our classes Skyped with a real author!  It was so cool!

Another techie tool is SnagIt by TechSmith!  You can take screen shots and then add words, word clouds, etc.!  You can be really creative!

Want to make a word cloud?  Wordle is super fun and easy!  Try it out!

Prezi makes your presentations POP!  We love it because it's so much more fun than PowerPoint.  Sometimes, you can even make your presentation look kind-of like a movie!

Tagxedo, we think, is more fun than Wordle, even though we like them both!  With Tagxedo, you get more options and more ways to build your word clouds.

Wallwisher is fun!  It looks like post-it notes, but they're online.

Thinglink is another tool that lets you be super creative!  You can post links onto a picture.  It's kind-of like an online scavenger hunt!  Check it out.

Want to make a video super fast and super easy?  You must try POWTOON!  We love it!



Incredibox is a total blast!  If you like music, you are going to love Incredibox!  We're not going to give away the details on that one, because we want you to try it out yourself.
