The Google document I created is to the left. I shared this with one of the 4th/5th grade teachers at my school. This is a library lesson we can collaborate and coordinate on and have students work on independently in the class. I think this is a great collaboration tool because it allows you the flexibility to work and edit items with other people on your own schedule versus having to meet in person. You can also link to this document at:

Challenge Four--Sharing Creative Commons
My Flickr frog gallery is on the next posting. I think that Flickr could be a cool way for students to present research projects or find pictures for projects. For example they could study a country or biome and then find pictures online to create a presentation of their work with photos found through the Creative Commons. This is also a great way to teach students about copyright and citing their sources.

Challenge Three--Create--Animoto Video
Animoto Video
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Challenge Three- Web 2.0 Creation
I used Audiopal to create a greeting on Morehead's Media Center web page https://sites.google.com/site/moreheadmedia/. The welcome greeting automatically plays when someone visits the site.
I found Audiopal super easy to use. I linked it to my website and then shared it on Facebook. I think teachers could benefit from using this tool on classroom websites--such as listing homework assignments online or using for how to information to help those who are auditory learners. Students could use this to explain how to do things or make short commericals about topics they have learned about.
I also played around with Animoto a little. I created an animated movie of my son Zack and his love of football.
I think I am going to try create an Animoto video commercial to get kids excited about our annual book character dress up in March.
