Animoto –Animoto is a wonderful tool to make photo music videos that can be easily embedded on a wiki or blog.  Be sure to sign up for the “Educator” version to take advantage of all the features.  This is an example Animoto created by an Andover High School Social Studies teacher as an introduction to the 1950s.

Bubbl.us – With this tool you can create a brainstorming mind map and embed it on your wiki.  To keep from having students needing accounts to login, this would be a perfect tool to have one teacher account and use the interactive white board to create as a whole class then embed on the class wiki.  The embed code is located under the Menu button in the bottom right corner.

  • SchoolTube – If you haven’t checked out SchoolTube, you are missing out.  Many of these student films are very good films.  You’ll find math tutorials, student performances, and more.  Simply check out the Video of the Day to see what’s been uploaded lately.  Also consider uploading your own class films here and embedding them on your website.  It’s a great way to archive class activities to share with parents.  The embed code on the right.
  • TeacherTube – TeacherTube is currently going through some big changes like allowing you to upload documents to share and creating a community piece.  The videos do have embed codes on the right.
  • YouTube – With the wealth of options at YouTube, you can usually find some great conversations starters for classroom discussions or tutorial videos on just about anything.  I definitely want to direct you to this blog post about embedding tricks for YouTube.  For example, you can embed just a portion of a YouTube clip or set it up to autoplay on your site.  The embed code on the right.  I recommend checking out YouTube Edu, as well.
