BlogBooker

BlogBooker is an excellent site that takes everything from w/in a blog: posts, comments, pics, and creates a nice looking PDF Book. Also, the site has step by step instructions on how to export your blog and upload it to BB.

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!!

Drag on Tape

Dragon on Tape is a wonderful site for editing/mixing video. All this is done through a very user friendly drag-n-drop interface within a time line view. This layout is really ideal and makes for one the better video online video editors around.

Gaggle

Gaggle the safe online learning suite just got better w/ the ability to now filter YouTube video. I posted a while back about Gaggle how it was a great solution to filter email, blogging, and message hosting as well as filtering Google Apps.

I implemented Gaggle in my old district and felt that it was affordable solution for districts. Now w/ the ability to filter You Tube, I really think this is a must-see option for school districts.

Bitstrips

Bitsrips is a comic creation site that is one of the better ones to come around in a long time. Like most similar sites a user selects a character, background, object, and then provides the text, but what separates this from others is there is an educational portal similar to Toon Doo Spaces. This is great for teachers as there is built in filtering, content approval before posting, and private hosting.

I highly recommend checking out Bitstrips for creating comics in the classroom!!!!



Thanks to the excellent blog Life Feast for the tip!!!
