I found this through Jennifer Gonzalez's article from Cult of Pedagogy, Are You a Curator or a Dumper?

Apparently, all you have to do is add a link, intro, and an image and it helps to curate your images in a pleasant display.  This reminds me of a sophisticated hyperdoc, because it looks very polished and inviting to have the photos with the links versus just a list of links.

Here is link to the newsletter I created using Elink where I share the tech blogs I follow. The two blogs on the right I have followed for several years. The two on the left I recently began following.

Below is a short, four minute,  'How To' video on YouTube.

Here is a longer, 14 minute video.

Make Beliefs Comix

www.makebeliefscomix.com/

I found this sight on The Techie Teacher.  It is limited on the characters, but it allows you to write talking bubbles.  Here is the one I created.  I didn't want to forget about it, because it looks like it might be fun for students.

Vocaroo

Vocaroo

https://vocaroo.com/

This is an online way for students to record their voice and upload it to other things.  I think students can attach it to an email.

Edpuzzle

https://edpuzzle.com/

This looks like you can take any video, you own or from the web, and make them interactive by adding your own voice and questions.  You can make your own videos and upload them, or take them from the web, ie. You Tube. 'You Tube Extensions' lets you edit the videos. You can also track how many times students are viewing the videos.  Under the "What's New at Edpuzzle?" I found info on 'Live Mode' that lets kids respond to questions from the video, individually, from their own devices, as a live whole class.

Nerdy Book Club

Just a site I found that I don't want to forget about.  It gives book reviews, and it's an opportunity to submit your review.

Book Creator

A book publish site where students write their books, and publish digitally.  I haven't had a chance to explore it yet, but I didn't want to forget about it.

Play Postit

This is an online tool that I don't want to forget.

According to their sight, "Play Postit is a platform to create and share interactive video lessons. Instructors begin with any online video (from YouTube, Vimeo, Khan Academy, TED, etc.), and add their own questions and interactions to hold students accountable to the content."

I haven't fully investigated this tool yet, but I quickly watched one of their videos that highlighted some of the features, such as asking written questions during a video, so I could have a basic understanding of how it works.

As you can see, I selected a reading of the book Charlotte's Web. I can stop the video of the reading and ask the students a question which appears off to the left side of the screen. Students write in their answer and select 'continue' which starts the video again, or in this case, the reading again.

Now, my video just shows a still of the book cover and you can hear the audio of the reader reading the book, but this can be used for any video.
