SitePouch – Share Multiple Websites

SitePouch is a free to use website that lets you view multiple websites together. This is a useful tool if you want to limit your students to research only selected websites. Instead of having students typing in the URL for each website, SitePouch can create one link for all the websites.

Enter the web address for each of the websites on the SitePouch webpage – SitePouch will then generate a unique URL that you can share with students, that contains the websites that you have chosen in a stack. Clicking on one of the listed website URL opens it up while the other sites remain on the stack. Clicking on a new site in the list opens it up and hides the previous site.

Build you own Social Network Website

With Wall.fm, you can create your own social network site, complete with Blogs, Forums, Photo gallery, Video gallery, and Groups.

You can use Wall.fm with your classroom, to upload student content and work to showcase to parents, and provide a medium where parents can comment/communicate/participate/interact.

Using the Blog feature you can add latest “news” from your classroom, what’s happening, upcoming events etc.

With the forum section you can create individual forum topics relating to specific learning subjects, where students can reply/comment and upload documents or post homework or activities.

The picture gallery allows users to  upload images to the site. The video gallery only allows for embedding video only, so videos would need to be uploaded to another site such as youtube, before linking the video to the site.

Wall.fm allows control over who can access and contribute to the site, so you have total control over who can view and comment on posts etc.  You do need an email address to register.

Sharetabs

ShareTabs is a great online tool for teachers who want their students to view specific websites.

Instead of waiting for kids to type in several URL’s to get to the days activities, they type in one URL and share tabs does all the work.  I know in my classroom, I don’t want to spend 15 min typing in web addresses.  I would rather that students have that time to spend on the web activities.  Share Tabs is perfect in the computer lab setting or any time that you want students to visit multiple websites for a lesson.  Use Share Tabs for virtual field trips through cyber space without spending time creating a webquest.  Share Tabs also makes sharing sites with colleauges a snap.  As you are finding resources for a lesson, put them into Share Tabs and send one link.
