Presenting

At times we want to celebrate, to share and to show off.

Now that's audience - sharing with the world. [|Posterous] a multimedia blog without all of the embedding. Let's check out [|one of mine.]

[|Voicethread] offers a wide range of interactive and collaborative opportunities to build conversation with your kids and to invite contributions from others (kids, parents, communities) Allanah King has developed a website to support this - use the experts! Here is an [|example that you can add] to. A couple of tips: group your children in 2-3s and have them structure a comment; join in the conversation and model the sort of response that you are aiming to get.

**[|Vocaroo.com] - one of the simplest voice recording options on the web.[| Here's one] **

[|Photo (or drawings in Kidpix) stories.] A[| Photopeach example] for the older kids. Here is a very good [|Help section for Photopeach.] I need to check out [|StoryBird] - very similar to Photopeach (same colour!!) but has a quite interesting looking class option. A very clear selection of [|tips for digital story telling]. How about a wiki?? [|Kowhai Kids] - is this powerful?? OK so you want to publish online Check out these sites to publish kids work:
 * [|Yudu]: Lets you upload all sorts of content including Word documents and PDFs. It will quickly convert the documents into an impressive virtual magazine with flipping pages. Account creation is optional but an email address is required. You can also set privacy settings to public or private.
 * [|Flipsnack]: Very similar to Yudu and is extremely easy to use. The only caveat is the document you upload must be in PDF format. If you have a copy machine at school that scans into PDF, load it with student work, create a PDF and convert it into a virtual book.
 * [|Issuu]: Pronounced "issue", is another option to upload almost any document format and transform it into a virtual flipping book. Of course, you can share and or embed the resulting creation. For example, you can embed the book on your classroom homepage or wiki.
 * [|Tikatok]: Aimed at younger students and is a wonderful tool for story creation. Students begin with story starters or a completely blank book. Text, images and imagination are added and an amazing digital book is created. The final product can be viewed online and a print copy can be ordered.
 * [|Mixbook]: Very similar to Tikatok but features some sophisticated editing tools perfect for middle or high school students. The site includes numerous templates and images to ensure a professional-looking book. Mixbook also offers accounts designed for teachers.
 * [|Epubbud]: Allows you to convert and existing document into an e-book or create the book on the site itself. The difference is that it converts the book to the epub format, which is compatible with numerous readers and tablets. The user interface is not as elegant as some of the other website choices but is an efficient way to generate an epub format book.
 * [|Lulu]: Like a combination of Epubbud and Mixbook. You have the ability to upload a document and convert to epub format. In addition, the site contains photo book tools very similar to Mixbook. Add images and text to tell a story. Tools are also available for creating poetry books and digital portfolios.
 * [|Scribd]: Arguably the best known online publishing site. Upload any file or even import from Google Docs. One drawback for the school setting is the number of advertisements.
 * [|YouPublish]: YouPublish is similar to Scribd. Upload virtually any type of file, including video, and it will be viewable and shareable. It's very easy to upload content and this site works well for older students.
