Glogster
Glogster offers a variety of levels of accounts. Here is a video on how to get a single user free account for teachers and students. media type="custom" key="24028004"

The free account allows you to have 10 students associated with your teacher account. While this does not meet the needs of having an account associated with EVERY student, I have set up the student accounts to be associated with one class of students. So, my grade 6 period 1 class might be called WHS-006. Then all the students in that class would work in the same account. When doing this, you must explain to each student that they are to only look at their own work and that they should NEVER edit anyone else's Glog.

Here is an example of a grade 6, All About Me glog. media type="custom" key="24029200"

Animoto
(From Read, Write, Think - [])
 * At the start of the school year, students could use Animoto to introduce themselves or their classmates.
 * Students can illustrate their own poetry using digital images they find on Internet or ones they take.
 *  Animoto can be used to present research information to the class.
 * Students could illustrate step-by-step instructions for procedure writing.
 * Send students on a scavenger hunt, supplied with digital cameras. Have students assemble their digital images into an Animoto video to display what they found.

ToonDoo
ToonDoo is a cool, comic-creating tool. It is a great way for your students to express themselves, even if they have limited talent in drawing. Students can simply drag, drop and click your way to create comic strips to express their views, opinions, and understandings of new concepts. Check it out at ToonDoo.com

Here is an example that I created to explain the difference between Potential and Kinetic energy. It took me about an hour to complete it.
