Cyndi Danner-Kuhn‘s insight:

Digital bookmarking  is a pivotal learning skill. It does not only allow you to organize your information into one single platform accessible from anywhere with an internet connection but can also help you in your professional growth. Web2.0 technologies have made it way easier for us to control and curate the content we come across online. I definitely believe that without the power of bookmarking we would never be able to manage the huge influx of information Internet provides. I have already talked in a previous post about the benefits of bookmarking for us as teachers and learner and I said that bookmarking web tools:

Wow, this is a great LiveBinder by VisionsByVicky

“This binder is an attempt to collect and organize Digital Citizenship resources by age (grade level). Often when we think of Digital Citizenship, we only think about the safety aspects of it but being a digital citizen is much more than just being safe. The nine elements of Digital Citizenship as outlined in the book Digital Citizenship in Schools by Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey are:

  1. Digital Etiquette
  2. Digital Communication
  3. Digital Literacy
  4. Digital Access
  5. Digital Commerce
  6. Digital Law
  7. Digital Rights & Responsibilities
  8. Digital Health & Wellness
  9. Digital Security (self-protection)

A new weekly web tool series on Fridays

By On · Add Comment
Listen to this Post. Powered by iSpeech.org

I find web tools we can use in our teaching and with our students all over the place and I usually try to include them on my blog in some format or another.  Well, there are so darn many……..so, each week I am going to include a list of 5 to however many I found that week in my Friday post.  I hope you find them useful and take time to check some of them out and bookmark the ones you like in your delicious, Diigo or maybe even create a LiveBinder.

Believe it or not, I will likely do all three. I love Delicious, and use it daily, in fact, I have to admit, my delicious is a bit of a mess with over 5000 sites tagged. I also use Diigo, and have a K-State Pre-service group in Diigo as a way to share resources with my students at Kansas State and a friend, Dean Mantz, (Mantz Mission Blog) is big into LiveBinders, recently he gave me a lesson on the benefits of Livebinders, so this is a perfect opportunity to give it a good solid try.

I will put the list here and as well as posting a link to the weekly growing LiveBinder. I will be interested to here what you think and please share you resources to this list in comments and if you would like to be a collaborator on the LiveBinder, let me know and I will add you as a collaborator.

Animasher is the place where you can make really easy animations.  This is kinda fun and really easy. The animation editor works intuitively, so you won’t have to labor hard to make your masterpiece. Just drag and drop images.  Add  text bubbles, etc., and you’re ready to share your creation with the world.

Ahead, kinda like Prezi. A zooming presenter for presentation, websites and even widgets.  I love Prezi, but wow, is it a different way to think, and so is Ahead, but their tutorials is quite good and it is all FREE. They even have a good step-by-step manual in PDF format:  Ahead_Manual_ver28.  (tutorial video at the bottom of this post)

AwesomeHighlighter is an easy way to highlight texts on web pages. When you finish highlighting, you get a link to share it with others.  Do I have to come here to highlight?  nope… check out our FireFox add-on and bookmarklet. Very cool and potentially useful.

AnyTypos free,online spell checker,  just copy paste your content and get the results online instantly.  Sometimes you just need a spelling checker and one that works online is very useful.

Alphabetizer puts any list in alphabetical order.  You can even print it. Features include reversing a list, removing duplicates, capitalizing first words or ignoring definite/indefinite articles.

OK, here is the LiveBinder I have started, Weekly Web Tools from A-Z.

Needless to say, it does not contain a great deal yet, just the resources mentioned above. But will grow each week and I find new resources to add.  Right now I have it set up with a few categories, Creativity, Presentation, Collaboration, Sound/Audio/Podcast, Productivity, Video/Movies.  I know there will be more categories, but this gets it started.
