Thank you! I will check out both resources! I am currently teaching a professional development course on meaningful integration of technology for 6-12 teachers, and I'm sure I can get some wonderful ideas both here and through your suggested resources. Thanks again!
Thanks Mark, I'll be happy to check those out. I'm currently using Studeous for my classroom website. I used Ning until the higher-ups in my school system banned the use of Ning. Do you have any experience with Studeous?
WOW! Thanks for that information! I can see how this can be addicting if you're not disciplined. Boy I'm in trouble now. Unfortunately I have to get to work at the moment. Duty calls. Can't wait to get back to check out the resources you provided me. Our school just happens to be looking into adding the online school for next school year. So thanks again. See you soon!
As you've noticed, we're working hard on a range of educational applications; one, Boolify, was released early last year (we're releasing an updated version this month) and others, including The Accomplished Librarian, Glean, and Me, You and History, are in production. Each and every tool we produce is free and public... and more will be released soon!
So - thanks for the info & comment and cheers!

Thanks Mark. I really like the wiziq.com site. It looks very user friendly and the best part is that it's free. The only problem that I see is that the more programs that I look at, the more muddled the picture gets. I have to think, which one is going to be the best product for my stakeholders? When working with such a large organization, things such as accessibility, user-friendliness, appropriateness,etc., etc. all go into play. This is one that deserves some additional looking into. Thanks again.
Hi Mark, thanks for the tips. In haiku LMS we have a feature called Embed the Web, and I have queued both these services to be included in our directory of resources. It will help promote the WizIq and authorstream as well as give teachers an easy way to include them in their haiku LMS classes.
Thank you for your suggestions. I will check it out. I am fairly new to all this tech stuff and don't spend enough time playing to become proficient but I plan to work on that thanks to your suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions. Wiziq looks outstanding. How would you compare this with Moodle?
I've got an account with Slideshare and created a powerpoint workshop on the changing face of literacy with a focus on the need to reframe the concepts of "reading" give new and emerging technologies.
Thanks Mark.
I checked out WizIQ. I could have used that when I was teaching! It seems to be aimed to teachers. What I'm mainly interested in are services that let kids make blogs, wikis, and personal websites (ala MySpace, Facebook)
in a controlled environment.

Thank you,
I will try that.
What did you make of AnimalAgentz.com
We are listed on The National Autistic Society to help children:
http://www.autism.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1404&a=13703
But Animal Agentz can also be used to just teach basic skills to help children with stress etc.
Best wishes

About 8 months ago, I tried to use both Wiziq's and authorstream but could not get them to work with ppt graphics or videos.
Is there now a screencast that shows how these apps can use multimedia assets within the ppt presentations?
