Producing online content

• This is a post where I´ll try out various tools Larry Ferlazzo has suggested in his blog. With your mouse try to put the words in order and read the message I´ve written.



With Bluegreen you upload your picture, add accessories, choose a destination in the past,present or future and record an account of your holiday.
How can you use it with students?
Your students can create imaginary holidays and record/ write about it along with selecting the images. It´s great fun doing it, by the way.

With shadydentis.com you can add captions to photos. Something I didn´t like was the fact you can´t edit the size of the balloon or fonts.







This is so BEAUTIFUL!!! First select English as the language, then write your wish, select the style you want your message in and finally e-mail it to a friend/ friends.

TRIBBIT.com - making a group card

Tribbit.com: Tribute a person, event, or something you love. via kwout

This is a site I found in the great blog "GO2WEB2.0" which helps us internet people celebrate someone´s birthday in a different way. You can write a card where different people can collaborate in different ways: text, images, audio, video. YOu start a card, customize the page and then send an invitation (by e-mail) to other people to collaborate. When the deadline comes, the card is sent to the recipient. I imagine I´d just love to receive a card like the one below.
