Animoto: Used it in a grad school program, intuitive yet lacks the ability to aesthetically include a lot of text. The presentation to me felt like a fancy power point
Glogster: I have my 9th graders use for a project. Like how audio, text, and video can all work together. The downfall is it is not condusive for collaboration.
MindMeister: costs$ and my school already subscribes to Inspiration which does much of the same kind of stuff.
Wordle: Great for visual learners. Very easy to use, great large or whole group activity that can help distill a topic.
Voicethread: The commenting feature is great. Sharing is simple. Uploading was at one time tricky but those glitches have since been fixed.
There are so many and more continue to develop ways to harness technology to enhance various parts of the writing process. It is important for teachers to stay networked in order to continue to learn more about these resources.
