 * **Sites/Resources** || **Description** ||
 * [] || Online collage creation tool. Free and intuitive, must sign up for a Vuvox account. Upload your media and create a unique way to tell a story or present an idea, then embed in your favorite blog or wiki. ||
 * [] || Cover it live is a real time messaging system that is used to track a live event or field questions in a seminar/classroom. Must sign up to use, then you can set up your own sessions to work from. Invite participants to join your cover it live session, and have a group discussion or collectively watch an event from different location or perspectives and give your 2 cents about the action...or lack there of. ||
 * [|tinyurl.com/edwardsmath] || This is my website where I have links to many math sites. We use this in my class on a daily basis. I doubt this will help anyone out but here it is anyway. ||
 * [] || This is a link to my YouTube page with all the videos I have made. I never thought I would ever make a video, but I have ended up making quite a few. They are VERY low quality, but they work great for class. Often times I can have the students watch the video by themselves or in pairs with the ear buds and they can work at their own speed. I am freed up to walk around and answer specific questions. I use iMovie and upload directly to YouTube. ||
 * [] || This blog gives a variety of technology advice and ideas for classroom use. Any site where I can get an idea to combine parabolas and Angry Birds is solid in my book. ||
 * [] || In this article the authors share their experiences of how technology is a great learning too. "Technology applications should be among the many tools at teachers’ disposal to offer children meaningful learning opportunities."

 * [|http://www.capzles.com/] || Capzles is an online social tool that utilizes photos to create photo stories or time lines. You can create a "Capzle" by uploading your photos, arranging them in whatever order you want, add a background for the photos to "flow" over, and even add videos. I think it would be an interesting tool to use with my English students, asking them to take a short story or other literature we have read, and create a Capzle for the story.
