Here are links and resources for your assignment on Friday.

Game resources: [|WWild Team]. This site has many games made in PowerPoint of varying quality. [|Jeff Ertzberg's game site] provides templates for timers and a variety of games made with Microsoft Office. Consider not just making games, but having students make them.

Rubrics. David Warlick's Landmark-project [|rubric machine] is really handy. Formatting can be tedious if you want to save it electronically and not just print.

Comic (graphic writing!) resources: [|Comic Life] has a free 30-day trial, which is long enough to complete a unit. [|Make Belief Comics] is free, but more limited. [|Toon Doo] is for those over 13 and lots of fun (free too).

Digital Storytelling: [|Voicethread] has been extremely popular in the K-8 environment. It's not free, but at $1.00 a student, it's close.

[|Spell with flickr], just for fun!
