This is a new take on slide shows! You or students over 13 can sign up for an account--you get 30 seconds free! If you sign up for an educators account you get unlimited time! This is a super easy site to use! You upload your images (or you can use some from their gallery), add two lines of texts per slide (as many slides as you want), select music from their gallery (or upload your own) and then hit create video and presto you have a great video slideshow that has wild transitions (automatically added). If you don't like the first version allow it to create a new one with one click! It doesn't get any easier than this!

Discovey Education
Discovery Education (formerly known as United Streaming) is so much more than videos! Video segments are a great way to hook students but how using speeches, or math tutorials, clip art or sound effects to capture thier attention? You will find a PowerPoint attached from Kris Back and Karen Reiber from their Professional Development class.
