Zoo Burst is an online program which allows the user to create digital, interactive, story books. Here's an example of a story I made.
Bubbl.us
Bubbl.us is a tool which can be used to create mind maps. It's very simple to use. Here's an example of a mind map I created - I was trying to work out what to do this weekend.
Google Maps
Google Maps is essentially Google Earth, except it does not require you to install any software on your computer. It is all available online – the benefit of this is that if you are using a public computer or one you don’t own you can still gain access.
Google maps could be used to begin learning about essential skills such as mapping and directions. Google maps allows you to search for directions from one location to another – it gives you the distance and even an estimate of time, depending whether you’re walking or driving.
Using google maps you can also create your own maps, which you can share with friends. Here’s a tutorial on how to do this: This could be useful for the classroom for planning camps or allowing students to create their own maps as part of a SOSE project.
Here’s an example of a map I have created, which marks all of the places I have ever lived.
