I Guarantee Your Students Would Love This Site...


or your money back...

Just kidding, this site is free!

I would really like to use the website Beeclip edu that Med krarbach describes on Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. This site can create collages, moodboards, portfoilios, or scrapbooks.  The home page talks about “empowering creativity”.  From the look of the thumbnail size examples it looks like it could be useful in the educational setting.  I have a dozen ideas for uses in my computer classroom. 
I checked the website out and it looks very user friendly.  When you start the registration free trial it explains the function of each tool.  The example on this page looks like the beginning of a project that students in my class would enjoy creating. 

It isn’t just pictures that students could scrapbook, they would also be able to add text and videos to create a scrapbook.  I could see a science class creating a scrapbook with images that represent photosynthesis and adding a video clip to help students visualize and hear the important information.  I think it would be useful in any subject.  Could you imagine this being used in your classroom?  When students are finished everyone could view them like a science fair/art show an educational scrapbook show...  One thing I do know is iIt could be a great display of work for parents to see what their child is doing in their classroom.

Did I forget to mention it is freeWoohoo!  You don’t hear that too often. J

  3. I bookmarked it too! But it looks like after the trial you would have to pay...boo. I wish more sites like this could be free. I love Glogster too but haven't asked my principal if we could get it in the district. I kind of cheated and had all my students log in under my name...it actually worked pretty well and it was free :)
