Here are some tools to assist you with your projects. If you need further information on their use, please post to the discussion tab. Also, add your own!

Multimedia
[|Voicethread] - seems like a good choice [|Google Earth] - So many ways to incorporate it into a project. Free [|iMovie] - for those lucky enough to have macs (I have a mac at home and pcs at school) - Mr. Farmer [|Photostory] - From Microsoft. Free [|Moviemaker] - Microsoft. Free [|Community Walk] Maps - My kids are having a blast with this tool (the link brings you to our map). We are mixing in our study of Landforms with the Virtual Vacation Theme. Next year I envision a Landforms map. Free

Weather
1. Weather "Sticker" from [|Weather Underground]. Free Enter your zip code, country, airport code, etc.. then scroll down on your weather page and you will see the window above. Click on the "Get Your Weather Sticker" button and copy and paste the code onto the Classroom Braids weather page. 2. The [|Weather Channel]. Free - a little more involved than the weather underground "sticker".
