This tool took about 1.5 hours to complete???? I'm beginning to lose track of time! My suggestion for 11 tools would be to work on one tool a day. I'm feeling a little overloaded with info right now, but I'm trying my best!
Here is a link to a book I created in at http://www.mixbook.com/. I watched the You Tube tutorial that was a link on the Tool 5 page. Then, I just added a few pictures to see how it works. I think this would be a great program to use with Kindergartens. I would need to log on, but they can take classroom pictures and drag the photos to the book's page. It's very simple to do once you are logged on. Then, I can share the link and parents can view their child's classroom work! Take a look here.....

Next, I tried Animoto because I know many "techy" educators use this site. I uploaded photos of my honeymoon in Hawaii to make a video. I wanted to upload a Hawaiian song to go with it, but my mentor suggested not to b/c of copyright rules. So, I just chose a song on Animoto. One of my biggest concerns with social networking is all the copyright laws/terms of use I have to agree to. I get very worried about breaking rules I may not realize/understand! Anyone else worried about this?
Check out my video below. Wish I could be there now....
Copyright is important so go back through and read Tool 5's comments about fair use. New rules allow students and teachers to use portions of materials found online IF it is used to show student learning within school firewalls and not published on the internet. Students and teachers cannot use whole works such as a whole copy written songs or published books. Hope this helps.
