World War I Collaborative Book by my 11th grade US History class at FHS. (This mixbook is the top viewed education mixbook on their site!) Students were assigned pages and topics and created pages with information and illustrations of their topics. Most students were in groups of two; a few worked independently. Mixbook can no longer be edited by more than one person at the same time. I'd recommend zFlip for this type of project now.

Poll Daddy is a great tool for embedding a quick poll for your students. I enjoyed using this tool in English, but found great uses in Social Studies, as well.

Quizlet is an absolutely wonderful tool for learning vocabulary. The features are terrific - flashcards, games, practice quizzes, and practice tests. By creating a group your students can share their sets with one another, streamlining the development of sets. You can embed a game on your web space. See an example below of semester exam review terms for my history class in 2007. media type="custom" key="7710827"

Animoto is a great tool for creating short 30 second videos using a series of photos. (Longer videos can be created for a small fee.) This short video is from a variety of activities with my students in English and US History in 2008. media type="custom" key="7710871" Here's another Animoto video featuring students playing board games created on F.

I like to use School Tube to post videos created by my students. Here is an interpretation of the novel, //1984// and a PSA by English students at Winterboro. in groups of four on this video interpretation of the novel. || Announcement by two of Mrs. Fossett's English students. || Comics are great fun - to read and to create. Consider using Bitstrips or Pixton to motivate your students. Allow your students to create them to illustrate their understanding of content. Here's a strip I created to "publicize" the test on Part Two of the novel, //1984//. media type="custom" key="7711185" Listen to teachers from all over the world discuss tools for audio recording.
