Welcome to the most beautiful way to share your photos & videos online. Easy as pie.

An online bulletin board that connects student and teachers together.

YouTube is an awesome way to make learning fun, but sometimes the comments and stuff around the videos aren't. Quietube gets rid of all the unwanted stuff around the video with a choice of white or black background.

An oldie but a goodie. This app can be accessed by computer or by phone. It allows a teacher to safely send text messages to students who subscribe to that teacher's class. It is free and very easy to use.

There are many websites that allow you to add voice narration to photos, slideshows, etc. But there are very few that allow you to narrate a whole collection of images with ease like Narrable does.

No more paper sign-up sheets and reply all emails. Sign Up Genius allows anyone (parents, students, staff) to sign up for events, parties, field trips, etc. No more paper needed or letters sent home. Just a quick link to the sign-up sheet and we have who is bring the cupcakes to next week's party and who wants to be in UIL events.

Fans of online voice recorders like Vocaroo, Soundcloud and Aviary’s Myna know that these web apps have many uses. Students can use these for things like storytelling, summarizing, explaining concepts, etc. But one of the major drawbacks (relatively speaking) is that these are all Flash-based . That is not all bad in itself. However, since Flash is on the way out and is not supported on iOS devices, a replacement is needed to fill this void- especially one that will work on iPads!

Hard to explain, but awesome to do. A small video that might help you better understand can be found at http://goo.gl/gCtGS. This new tool "Docs Story Builder" allows students to become characters in a shared Google Doc. Students type in the character names, then enter what they want typed on the screen by each character. Then, they can choose a musical soundtrack to accompany the final "video" story.
