** Web 2.0 Presentation Tools **
Sandra || ** Oct. ** Chuck || **Animoto** **(website)** This tool analyzes an uploaded set of images and creates a "professional" music video based on a secret artificial intelligence logic. Very easy to create elegant picture shows. Not accessible with a student login at this time. [] || Lisa || ** Oct. ** Candice || **edu.Glogster** **(website)** Make interactive posters. [] || Beth || ** Nov. ** Sally || ** Empressr ** **(website)** Empressr is an online storytelling tool that allows you to create, manage and share rich media presentations online. Upload your video, images and audio to get started creating cool slideshows. If you have your own website, blog, or social networking page, you can either post a link or embed your Empressr. Empressr also has great charting and table tools to create dynamic presentations. Easy to use and fun to work with. (I like this web 2.0 tool. It was easy to use and made nice presentation. bp) (I agree - easy to work with. gcr) [] || Yolanda || ** Nov. ** Linda R || **ImageLoop** ** (website) ** Upload images, select from animated templates. Create a slideshow with transitions, animated effects and skins. Add captions and then send the link or embed in a blog or Facebook. Shows are stored online. You can choose whether to make the show private or public. **Be careful when viewing other people's posted slide shows.** Clever and easy to use, but... [] || Cheryl || ** Nov. ** Lynn || **Joggle** **(website)** Upload images and create Slideshows with transitions and attach background audio. [] || Sherry || ** Nov. ** Aneitra || **One True Media** **(website)** Combine photos and video clips with words and music to personalize stories. [] (Not highly recommended for students as they would have access to other people's videos which may be inappropriate. Also, the music may not be legal to download). || Cynthia || ** Nov. ** Rosemary || **PhotoPeach** ** (website) ** A very easy to use slide show maker tool. Import photos/upload, arrange and select music, add captions.. Pan and zoom effects. [] || Phyllis || ** Nov. ** Sheila || **PhotoShow** ** (website) ** "Turns photos into musical slideshows" - wide range of elegant templates, add captions. Audio only from music on site. Can view auto generated slide show and then share it with others. Drawbacks: With the free version, you may only use 24 pictures and photos are kept on file for only 30 days. Shows may not be downloaded or burned. [] || Carol || ** Jan. ** Donna Teuber || ** RockYou **** (website) ** "RockYou! creates and distributes the most popular self-expression widgets on the web" where widgets are slideshows, image effects, and more. RockYou has some music and template content that is inappropriate for students. It is very easy to import photos and put together a quick slide show, but the content would prevent us from using this in our schools.
