Zunal.com




About Zunal.com what I can say is that, is an amazing, great, excellent and interesting tool that you can use to teach, to add information related to education. Is like creating a page where the main topic you chose can be built by introduction, tasks, process, etc…   Using this tool is like a virtual teacher, where you give the important or relevant information of a topic to learn.

You can see the link below which is my Zunal page, enjoy :D

Voicethread














The Voicethread is an interactive and sharing tool where you can add images or documents, even videos text, audio file, comments or to lend your voice for a story tale you create, which is dynamic, fun and a good way for the students to learn in class.

Read Write Think (making poems)





ReadWriteThink… The tool Read Write tool gives children a leg up in creating a poem where you create a poem.  You just add some words depend of the image the tool provides; like a tree, or a book, or a school bus; then you start to arm your poem…

It’s really interactive and enjoyable item where the children can accomplish a variety of goals from organizing their thoughts to learning about language.

For example, you can see two of the poems that I made hehehe:

My first Poem.pdf
My second Poem.pdf

Puzzlemaker




Anyone that likes to play with puzzles? Well, let me tell you that the Puzzlemaker is the one that you can use to create any kind of puzzles like maze, word search, even cryptogram.
I was having so much fun working with this tool and when I finish my puzzles, well you can see by yourself that it is a great tool to use for any school or college activities…
See the PDFs of the Puzzles that I made :D
Do you like them?

Storyjumber







Storyjumber is a nice tool where you can use it to create a story, any story you like to invent but the funny and good thing about this item is that your story is made as a book…

So, when you finish creating your story and adding images, when you save the tale and when you read it, the book moves from page to page, good item to use for school students where they can create any imaginable stories…

Here you can see a story tale what I made which the theme is about Halloween

VOKI



Voki is another tool that I’ve been working in my Educational Technology class. This tool is used to create like an avatar (you can create it as you like, hear, eyes, color of skin, etc) but the interesting thing of this instrument is that the avatar can be as teacher like representing yourself. You can represent a topic or also can write a sentence, where your avatar will walk trying to teach the students, and the amazing part is that it can be in different language…

This is a good interactive and effective language tool that I think you can use from first graders to fourth graders (thinking about the ages of the students that will use the tool for their education)…
Here you can see the Voki that I created :D

ZOOBURST




Zooburst is a really interesting tool... 
Let me tell you what it is. Zooburst is a digital tool for storytelling, where you can create stories but in 3D and the images which you can choose different images depend of the story you want to make, the pictures will pop-up and when you finish it will create your story in a book...

I like the tool because if we for example, be a teacher for first or second graders, we can use this element for class. Easy for the students to create their own stories instead of writing in their notebooks; it will help them to be creative, and more to help them with their grammar. So I suggest the teachers to use this tool for easy practice in class.
