Blogging Tools

Most blogging tools offer a free basic version, and charge for extra features. First Class has a a basic blogging tool built in, and it is very easy to use. Several teachers (Mr. Shum is a good example) have used it.

• Blogger

• Typepad

• Wordpress

Photo and Video Sharing Tools

• Flickr: photo organizing and sharing that works with a Yahoo mail account

• Youtube: Completely unrefereed comments make Youtube an unpredictable tool to use in the classroom. Current network restrictions mean that videos have to be downloaded. Refer to other tools listed here.

• Vimeo: high definition video site

• Voice Thread (written and oral comments linked to images, PDFs)
