Animoto is very cool – easy to use and FREE

I enjoyed this post from Michael Arrington at TechCrunch.

Britannica has made free access to the full content of Britannica Online through Britannica WebShare available to registered bloggers and web publishers via widgets.

from the Britannica WebShare site…

Britannica Widgets are here, and with them you can instantly post an entire cluster of related Encyclopaedia Britannica articles on your blog or Web site. Just follow the instructions and copy and paste the several lines of code associated with each widget as html into the appropriate place on your site. Any readers who click on a link will get the entire Britannica article on the subject, even if access to the article normally requires a subscription. Really. Try it.

I’m heading over to register and try it out (check back in a couple of days – every registration request is being processed individually)

Also available from Britannica Online are a number of embeddable widgets (example below) with a promise of more to come.

On twitter during the week and then on Ewan McIntosh’s and Paul Hamilton’s blog – Animoto now offer a free and fool-proof way to create presentations. It took only a few minutes to create this one – with images I already had online in my flickr account.

This is just one more example of the great tools available to teachers. Create a free account and have some fun
