Doink Doink is a user friendly, creative program that allows the students to easily create animations. It is similar to creating a flip book, and just that easy. It is completely web based so there is nothing you have to download. Students can access this from the classroom, home or the library--anywhere they have an internet connection. This would be a great way for students to create projects that could easily illustrate concepts. For instance, what if you wanted your students to learn about the water cycle? Would they learn more from writing a paper about the water cycle, or actually creating an animation that illustrates it? It is definitely a program that could be used creatively in the classroom. It is so user friendly, students could share their creations with their family and friends.

 [|GameClassroom] This is an educational website that offers a variety of games, worksheets, and articles for both teachers and students. You can navigate by choosing a grade level, or you can choose a subject. The games are very user friendly and easily navigated. They range from grades K-6. This would be a great website for the teacher who is trying to supplement what they are teaching with something both fun and educational too.

[|MeeGenius Library] This is a site that allows you to read children's books online, and personalize them with your student's names. It is very easy to use and simple to navigate. You can go online and it will read stories to you, or you can personalize a story and save it to share with others. They use common stories many of us have already heard, such as __Jack and the Beanstalk.__ I would definitely use this website for my younger students. They would enjoy reading books where the characters share their names. The oral and the visual cues would help the students with their reading skills at the same time.

SpicyNodes This application is a way of visually guiding a user through a Web site by displaying information in bubbles (nodes). When one clicks on a node, it becomes the focus of the Web page, and shows related links to other nodes. This will make it much easier to keep your attention where you want it and get to the information or content you want. One of the biggest challenges in creating a “user-friendly” Web site is making it navigable. Spicy Nodes seems to be a very helpful tool for accomplishing this end. This tool can supplement or replace conventional Web site design, and very useful, especially for those with limited reading skills.
