Module+7-Review+of+three+Online+Media+Tool+Sites

__** Cool Tools for Schools  : (http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/) **__ - This site has an incredible number of tools that could be of use to students and teachers in a multi-media classroom. There are too many enumerate upon here, but these tools could go a long ways in helping students learn and communicate in the that world that we liven in today. One example that I found was showdocument.com ( []  ), which is a tool that lets two or more people create/edit documents while they are in different locations.

__** [|Slidesix] (http://slidesix.com/) **__ I was impressed with what I saw of Slidesix. I liked how you could bring in content from Powerpoint and Keynote. I played a view of the presentations there and appreciated the controls and simplicity of the interface. You could get to full screen easily and you also had the ability to upload the content to some sharing site such as Facebook with a quick click. The price was right as all you just had to do was register.

__ [|**iTunes**] __ - itunes has lots of potential for shared work by students and teachers. Besides the music/movie factor, Apple will catalog/warehouse podcasts covering all kinds of categories/content imaginable. These, of course, can be accessed very easily given an internet connection. I’ve also had students create digital stories using Garage Band and Keynote and then move these produced items to iTunes as a digital story. When this happens these are items are now available and managed locally. iTunes software is a free download. Some of the content offered from Apple is free, some is not.
