Learning Visually
Are you a visual learner? Do you like seeing your work organized in a way that is meaningful to you? If you answerd "YES!", then stixy is the site for you! Students can upload images and documents, post notes, and share their work with other classmates. Stixy can even be collaborative allowing for students to share what they have created and have others add to it. Teachers can use stixy as an online discussion post or sharing spot! Visual learners are able to arrange their work in a way that is meaningful and memorable for them! Once you've created your stixy, you are given a URL address to share with others. Online Document Storage
Wanna save all of your documents in ONE place? Calameo is a FREE site for document storage. You just need to create an account and you're all set!!Calameo can be used to store graphic organizers, exam review sheets, visual aids/sample assignments, lists of vocabulary words, course assignments, and so much more!
The best thing about Calameo is the ease in which you can share your information.
You can use an embed (html) code to share it with students in your course or
you can send them the URL address to access it directly. I have sent the URL to parents so they can access the graphic organizers as needed for their student.

Do you like to BLAB??
Blabberize is an awesome and fun tool that works much like the famous jibjab cartoons we all like to make during the holidays! You can upload a picture of anyone, crop the mouth and start talking! The cool feature is that you can record using a built in microphone on your computer, upload a soundbite, or even record using your telephone. How versatile!! Blabberize is a wonderful way to teach phonetics, fluency, and intonation. You can even have your students record themselves and send the file to you! I like using blabberize to have a vocabulary word of the day or for a read aloud in my classroom. I hope you'll use this tool today!!
