Hi Everyone,
I am looking to expand my knowledge of some new educational websites that have just come out...any new sites that you have seen recently that you think are just great?

My middle schoolers love Animoto. I just found Voice Thread which I think is a great way to collaborate. I could not live without United Streaming and Discovery Science Connection. I have used Bubbl.us for brainstorming. Google Docs is great for collaborating. My students love SoundSnap - free sound effects for podcasting. Zamzar is a free online file converter.
Our community has a shared "buzka". Mostly about EFL (English as a foreign language) teaching but look at the Web 2.0 spot. Might be something there and buzka itself is a super cool bookmarking site! http://eflclassroom.buzka.com
One of the best finds in a long time for me was coming across a beta called "Jing" by Tech Smith. I give a demo of how you might use it in the classroom here -- http://web20intheclassroom.blogspot.com/2007/11/best-find-in-longlo.... At the same site I try to share out all the other cool finds that I come across. Hope something benefits you in some way.
Hi Jennifer~ I run a site called ChitChat (http://ChitCh.at) that we just recently launched to help teachers share content and make it easier for them to assign, collect, evaluate, and offer feedback on student work via the web. I hate to be too commercial, but since you're looking, I thought I'd let you know about it. If you have any questions, let me know!
