Citelighter

Citelighter, is an online writing platform for K-12 that helps students organize research for homework and papers and allows teachers to assign, monitor and grade.


Citelighter is already used in over 3,000 K-12 classrooms, and the new platform will help:

Students ­When students aren't confident in their writing, they have trouble communicating their thoughts. Citelighter allows students gather information, jot down notes on a specific source and incorporate it right into their assignment. It helps with organization and develops critical thinking skills needed to become a better writer.

Teachers ­Citelighter helps teachers give individualized and customized attention to each one of their students without leaving their desk. It lets teachers monitor progress and grade their students all on a single platform saving them valuable time with their classroom.

Principals ­For principles and administrators that are tasked with choosing tools for their schools and districts, Citelighter is affordable and combines 7 tools in one easy to use platform.


Common Core ­ Citelighter brings everyone in the classroom up to speed with Common Core requirements by breaking down complicated writing concepts into digestible pieces for students and reduces the burden on teachers and administrators by ensuring everyone is in a successful learning environment.

*Coming Soon - Oct 21st

Top 10 Sites for Bookmarking and Annotating

Annotation is a summary made of information in a book, document, online record, video, software code or other information, "in the margin", or perhaps just underlined or highlighted passages (wikipedia). This is a very useful skill or tool to have that goes along w/ bookmarking, when it comes to managing information the web.

Top 10 sites for Bookmarking & Annotating
  1. Diigo - Excellent site for bookmarking and annotating w/ the ability to create student accounts, simply the best!!
  2. Delicioius - Probably the most popular bookmarking site on the web w/ lots of educators to be found!!
  3. iCyte - Similar to Diigo w/ the ability to annotate and then share or embed into a site.
  4. Rooh.It - A great way to highlight content on the web and then share w/ others and add comments!
  5. Digg - A popular way to bookmark w/ the ability to share w/ others, comment, and even generate a widget for a website.
  6. Trailmeme - An innovative site w/ a beautiful user interface for annotating web content and generating a unique user interface/path to follow.
  7. Jog the Web - Similar to Trailmeme and very user friendly (nice Web 2.0 jogs to follow!!).
  8. Pinboard - A very simple site to bookmark w/out all of the clutter that some of the more popular sites have. Also, works well w/ mobile devices!!
  9. School Noodle - A great way for teachers to bookmarks sites and then share these resources w/ other educators!!
  10. Krunchd - A nice way to take a collection of sites and create one unique URL for all of them.

iCyte

iCyte is a wonderful site for bookmarking and annotating web sites. Also, a user can save a site that is no longer active on the web, comment on them, and then send it to others or embed in their site.

I highly recommend giving iCyte a try by clicking here!!

Video ANT

Video ANT is a new (beta) site for annotating YouTube video. What makes this such a great site is how user friendly it is. To get started a person has to title their video, add an email address it gets sent to and then copy in a URL of a video. Then a person has the option to watch the video and annotate as it plays along!!



I highly recommend checking out Video ANT by clicking here.
