Sometimes the Internet is not our friend (it doesn't want to work for us when we need it!)

Use Web2.0 sites and media library
Download them & screen capture them
Mash them together

Great Web2.0 Sites:
gizmoz.com
blabberize.com - make pictures look like they're talking
secondlife -- screen capture your adventures in second life so that you are sure about the content the kids will see -- no streakers will run by :)
tagul.com
wikipedia.com
glogster.com
googlelittrips.org
jamendo -- free music dowloads
digimi
gizmos
Discovery Education Streaming
California Student Media Festival

For digital portfolios, you want them to not only be online, but also in hard copy, like a dvd
What if the Internet is down? Screen captures will allow you to have your own copy. For many (most?) the sites themselves say this is totally ok.

Screen Capture Tools:
camstudio - *Best for PC - free
jing - free
quicktime10
iShowU - cheapest good one
Camtasia
Skitch
SnapzPro - great, but not free
iShowUPro

You can use an old digital video camera (the kind that eat tapes) connected through the firewire cable instead of your built-in iSite camera to record the room or to do a screen capture or skype onto your computer. This also allows you to zoom in and out.

Email geec@google.com and tell them you're a teacher and want google earth pro for free

HyperStudio for free. Go to booth 840 and they'll give you a free CD and license.

On a Mac pick a green background for a picture/movie and bring it into iMovie and use greenscreen to mash a web pic/movie with a project you're building.

Build things in PowerPoint and export as a jpg
