Super Cool Wiki Tools

---

All of these work with blogs too!

• Class Tools - http://www.classtools.net -- I love having my students create video games and embed them on the wiki for review. (See the test I gave on Friday.) Also, the timeline feature is GREAT as are others.
• Jing Project http://www.jingproject.com - easy way to make embeddable video (like Eric on Math Train -- hint -- use with Microsoft One note and a tablet if you have one!)
• Google Calendar - http://calendar.google.com - I embed all of my lesson plans on my student pages.
• Toondoo - http://www.toondoo.com - Cartoon maker
• MindMeister - for brainstorming - http://www.mindmeister.com/
• Bubbleshare http://www.bubbleshare.com/-- For making a "virtual refrigerator" of student work.
• Voice Thread - http://voicethread.com/ -- Voice and text photo albums -- a GREAT way to make digital portfolios for elementary age students.
• Poll Everywhere - http://www.polleverywhere.com/ -- Putting in a cell phone poll for live presentations but can answer online too. Gives you an alternative for polls, etc.

Your Questions

---

If you have a question, please post it here and we'll cover it if there is time. (Or Vicki will leave an answer here.)

Tanya: is there a place we can go to learn more about wiki text and what it does?
Tanya: How can we give kids usernames without them having to put in an email address in order to edit wiki pages?
Tanya: I'm thinking of my third graders, they will forget to put tags, is there a way when I create a template for an assignment, I can put the tags in so they will come up for every page a child does??
Tanya: At the end of the school year, what do you do with all of the wiki pages your students have created on your wiki? do you start a new wiki for the next year?
