"Writing will always be important, but weaving text, images, sound, and presentation together can give students more and different ways to express themselves. Easy-to-use online tools allow students the opportunity to create multimedia projects that demonstrate knowledge and develop useful skills. Check out these new three tools on the scene."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This post discusses three tools: * Meograph, an online tool that allows you to create multimedia presentations that use video, maps, images, text, timelines, audio and links. You can check out a Meograph created by a student (on the water cycle) in the post. * Zeega allows you "to create an interactive web-based story, pulling content from online sources, including photos, music, animated GIFs, and videos." Zeega is free for individuals. Please note that Zeega is for users over the age of 13. * Wevideo is a primarily used to create videos, but it allows you to "several people collaborate at the same time." There is a comparision chart of these three tools (as well as Windows Live Movie Maker and iMovie11 included in the post.
