WikiBrains

WikiBrains is a cool site that allows users to create a brainstorm in the style of a wiki.  It's pretty interesting in the way it works like a search engine but starts mapping out terms that you type in, and then connects them.  Also, users can browse, share, and edit other brainstorms (hence the wiki feature).

I highly recommend checking out Wikibrains by clicking here!!!

Web of Stories

Web of Stories is an interesting site that I just learned about from Larry Ferlazzo's excellent blog.  This is a site designed to tell stories through the use of video.  A person can either upload their video or record straight from their site.  Users even have the ability to edit/trim their video.  I think this is a nice site for digital storytelling and students have lots of stories from celebrities, historians, and more they can browse through.

C-Fit

C-Fit is a series of iOS (iPad/iPhone) video apps that I just found out about through a promotional email.  These apps are designed to showcase videos that can be used in the classroom to promote fitness.  In having a background in Phys Ed & Health, I was very excited to check out this site.  C-Fit offers apps at a very low price ($.99) for promoting: dance, yoga, and cross training that can be done in the classroom or living room.  These apps were designed by educators and help promote a healthy lifestyle.  Also, this is a nice app to have during in-door recess, a break during testing, or other "down" times.
