You can enhance your blog or wiki by embedding dynamic content from a number of websites. Here are several of my favorite sites to use with students
Go Animate - Create your own cartoons!
Animoto - Create amazing slide shows set to music.
Glogster - Voted the #1 Educational Tool by the Discovery Education Network. One of my favorite sites. Click here to download the Educator Resource Library PDF
Prezi - Create unbelievable multimedia presentations. Another one of my favorites.
Jaycut - An amazing video editing program that is completely online. The coolest thing about this site: YOU CAN USE A GREEN SCREEN!
Blabberize - This site is a blast. Upload a picture of a person or an animal and make them talk with your voice!
Voki - Create an avatar and make it say anything you want! Very fun site. You can use this on your wiki or blog. You can even put it into a Discovery Education Lesson and have it speak the directions instead of having kids read them.
Grooveshark - Listen to any song you want online. You can also put Grooveshark widgets in your blogs or wikis.
Poll Everywhere - Create online polls that you post in your blog or wiki.
