Now that Glogster
has started charging, teachers want to know how their students can create
poster and project presentations online? Here are 10 sites that can be used to
create digital displays by your students.
1. http://www.spaaze.com/home - On the
Spaaze board I was able to create a label, enter text onto a notepad, insert an
animated GIF, and two pictures created on other sites. I was also able to
upload a file onto the board. You can also show YouTube videos on the
board through the link, but not upload your own videos from your computer.
example - http://www.spaaze.com/board/a909ed6b25bf0a321f5126c8213c70a7
2. https://techieteachnj.jux.com/ -
Create a slide show using text, pictures, photos, animations, YouTube videos.

and video files and soon add text and captions, found the site to be slow.

a time. example - http://www.posterbee.com/group/75450#post;;75460

to the online classroom.
More sites for
creating pictures for your displays. Students who are creating projects
on characters, stories, time periods, or events can create snapshots of news
stories about their topic, or other cool picto/graphics.
