Here are some useful links for teachers to explore:

Xtranormal
This is a website that allows users to create their own animated videos. It recognizes typed-text as speech, so the characters in the movie will say what you type.

Wordle
This site allows users to create "word clouds".

Vancouver Olympics 2010
An excellent site for research on the Winter Olympics. It contains videos, games, pictures, and articles.
Students have to be careful about clicking on advertisements.

Whyzz
A search engine made specifically to answer kids' common questions.

Prezi
A site that allows users to create non-linear presentations. Like PowerPoint, but cooler.

SumoPaint
Online paint program. Works like Microsoft Paint, but includes many more features.

Educational Gmail
Grade 4/5 students now have Gmail accounts. This includes Documents (online Word processor), Spreadsheets, Presentations (online PowerPoint) and Sites (students can make their own webpages and blogs). Teachers can see Roland if they would like to create an account and try it out.

Other things to try:
  • Google Earth: try recording a tour.
  • Google Earth: try viewing the "street view" of Winnipeg.
  • SMART Notebook and explore the Educator's Lesson Activity toolkit.
  • Blog: Try making your own blog or update your current blog. See Roland.
