Web Sites for Creating Multimedia

a. Photo Peach

[]

This is a free site that lets you import images to create a slide show or a quiz along with an mp3 file to embed in your web page, wiki or blog. I tried this at a professional development development conference and found it to be extremely user friendly and a cinch to put together. I like how I can create a quiz with images and text on a screen to ask a question or make a comment. I have attached a sample Photo Peach file I created for my Geometry students.

This site allows you to create up to 3 pages for free of mind maps. The easy to use set-up uses icons to demonstrate its repetitive yet graphic portrayal of content. <span style="color: #0e00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I have used this site for all of my concept maps at Walden. It is easy to create and export as a jpg to be uploaded onto a web page, blog or wiki. It stores the working model on the site until it is deleted by the user.

<span style="color: #0e00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I downloaded this free software for a trial version and experienced a dynamic way to create graphic organizers. It has stored images useful for most business or educational topics that can be included onto the concept map. <span style="color: #0e00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think this is by far the most creative way to make a concept map, although I think that its full capabilities would need to be purchased.
