File Freak
File Freak is an online jump-drive. It saves music, images,
and files such as work. Only downfall is that you can only have one gigabyte of
saved information saved onto it at any computer. It is useful because young students can
easily lose them little jump-drives. So when have the students do a project
they can start it in class but can finish it at home a lot easier.
Add Letters
Website that can be used to make signs from many images
online. The text is used from images that you upload and use them. You can also
download the images to make it look like a newspaper headline. When we do a
project on a poster board the letter on the title will no longer look plain
like before. I can use it in the weekly newsletters sent home to the parents.
Yodio
Site that can be used from your phone to then upload your
voice into a presentation. You can also use it just like Microsoft PowerPoint,
but unlike PowerPoint it can be shared with friends. If a student has a
presentation but is out sick they can record the presentation from home. Also
with speech, if you hear yourself make mistakes it a lot easier to fix them
that way.
Your Fonts
Online font generation service that allows you to create
your own fonts. You can make them straight from scratch and then save them. You
can then use your fonts on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Students can use in
situations where you want to use a creative font versus the normal ones that
are on the computer. I can use them in monthly newsletters.
Amazing Grade Calculator
Used to tell you exactly what you need to make the grade
that you want. This is used for anyone 3rd grade level or above because it
requires division. Makes it easy for the teacher. I will not need to tell you what grades you
need to make a certain grade in my class. So the student could know if getting
a letter grade such as an "A" is possible.
Wetoku
First off there is no software to download. You then use a
webcam like you would with Skype or some other app that you video chat live.
What makes this better is that you can record yourself though as well while you
video chat. If you are out sick at home you can still do your presentation. Use
to record a presentation and visual show you the mistakes you made.
Dot SUB
You can find one of thousands of videos or movies that are
translated daily. You can upload a video and it will help you translate it into
different languages. This is a place to upload educational videos. Well if i
happen to have a student who English is there second language I can have it
translated into their native language. Next if I find a video that may be
useful but it is in another language I can use to change into English.
ChildrensYouTube
Used for the ages two through ten. These movies are all
teacher and parent approved. So it is safe videos from YouTube. Well usually at
school the website YouTube is blocked from all the computers. Since the videos
are parent and teacher approved I will not have to worry about a lawsuit.
Easy Bib
Automatic bibliography and citation maker. This app is free.
Easy to build bibliography. Works for me to catch students who plagiarized on
an assignment. Makes it easy to site work if the students forgets the
website.
Format Pixel
Makes creation brochures a lot easier. You can upload your own images. You can
design page based projects. This is useful for a brochure project because it
makes it easier for the students. Even though not listed in summary you can
easily add an entire page to a section of the brochure.
