Web based applications that involve participation and interaction in the creation of content as opposed to websites that just involve viewing content.

• Interactive, engages learners in creating a product
  

• Accessible - anywhere you have web access
  

• Collaborative - encourages sharing of work and "audience" participation
• Impress everyone with your technical know-how :)

Voki - Choose an avatar and convey your message. Use text-to-speech OR record your own voice. Can post Voki to blogs and websites.

Prezi is a cool alternative to PowerPoint. Begin with a blank canvas - create the look you want. Viewers can control the movement, zoom in and out.

Great tool for creating slideshows of images set to music. Can add captions.

Use Wordle to create word clouds. Possible uses: autobiographies, poetry, in place of book reports.

Smore lets users create posters and flyers. Templates are easy to use with choices for backgrounds, fonts, and colors. Add images, embed in a web page or blog.
