There are so many amazing ways to create and collaborate online now. So for our new teacher academy this year, I shared some of the coolest ones with them.  One of the first things we did was create funny pictures of ourselves using <a href=\"http:\/\/funface.com\">FunFace<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/yearbookyourself.com\">YearbookYourself<\/a>. Then we uploaded our pictures to an online writeboard called <a href=\"http:\/\/scribblar.com\">Scribblar<\/a>. This would be a very cool opening week activity for your students as well.  Next we went through some of the web tools and applications on the Mac and showed how they could be used to teach the first nine weeks&#8217; curriculum. We practiced using some of the programs to make a Keynote, ComicLife, and PhotoBooth video for the animals unit (SOL 3.4, 3.5, 3.6). If you want to download the files and find out everything we taught you can visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/SummerSchool2010\/\">New Teacher Academy website<\/a>. This Prezi gives an overview of some of the tools and provides links to examples.<br \/>\n<code><\/p>\n<div class=\"prezi-player\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\" media=\"screen\">.prezi-player { width: 500px; } .prezi-player-links { text-align: center; }<\/style>\n<p><object id=\"prezi_l3oeb5h_0xpl\" name=\"prezi_l3oeb5h_0xpl\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/prezi.com\/bin\/preziloader.swf\"\/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\"\/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"prezi_id=l3oeb5h_0xpl&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;autoplay=no&amp;autohide_ctrls=0\"\/><embed id=\"preziEmbed_l3oeb5h_0xpl\" name=\"preziEmbed_l3oeb5h_0xpl\" src=\"http:\/\/prezi.com\/bin\/preziloader.swf\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" flashvars=\"prezi_id=l3oeb5h_0xpl&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;autoplay=no&amp;autohide_ctrls=0\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<div class=\"prezi-player-links\">\n<p><a title=\"See how a few web tools are used in a real life classroom.\" href=\"http:\/\/prezi.com\/l3oeb5h_0xpl\/web-tools-in-the-classroom\/\">Web Tools in the Classroom<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/prezi.com\">Prezi<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My focus this school year will be trying out new web tools with the students.
