It would be great if other teachers across the cluster could share some of their favourites as well so that we can all build up ourBookmarks Tab!
uJam- A free Cloud Computing alternative to Garage band
The Ed Galaxy Blog is calling Ujam a 'Garageband killer' and the best web app of 2011. A big call, so what does it do? Basically, uJam let's ANYONE create a professional music piece in minutes by simply singing. No instruments required. This can then be edited (even the style) and then sent privately and the best part is that it is currently FREE.

Watch the video below. Blew my mind- Watch out Britney, there might be a hit single waiting in one of our classrooms!
RSA Animate Videos
Many of you would have viewed the Ken Robinson video posted on this blog back in October last year and been struck by how the drawing reinforced the ideas presented in a memorable and engaging way. RSA Vision Videos are a collection of "video lectures, from the world's most inspiring thinkers'. RSAnimate has animated many of these to capture our interest even more!
I particularly enjoyed Dan Pink's talk about Drive-extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Check that out here
RSA Animate-Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us from The RSA on Vimeo.
A great way to enhance our professional learning in an interesting way?
Finally,
Search Cube- Sick of searching the web and then scrolling through endless lists of results?
Search Cube is a visual Search engine that offers a straightforward search box for entering search terms. The search results it yields, however, are images of home pages. These home pages are arranged on the six faces of a cube, with 16 sites displayed on each face.. It shows previews of up to 96 websites, videos and images. You do need Flash 9 or higher but this is a site I am using with my class tomorrow! View the demo below
I am really looking forward to comments suggesting other websites that I can add to my bookmark folders
Until next time
