I'm playing with Voki today and experimenting with a talking Nook to greet visitors.
What do you think?

MEMO

Anita Beaman and Amy Oberts were the keynote speaker this morning at MEMO. They are great. Take a look at a few of the ideas they shared on their wiki! READING 2.0
They are talking about:

Ace Screensaver ($15) that allows you to make a desktop screen saver file and save it, then teachers can drop it on the screens in their classroom. Amy uses this to promote books that are in their book award nominee list.

Using an image of a book front and combining it with Wordle.
She has asked that the Gallery be blocked so that kids can't get to some of the wordles that are not age appropriate. Did you know that if you have a word that you want to be together in Wordle - you just use a Tilde "~" between the words and Wordle will keep them together!
Create a Wordle

Shelfari - You can use book shelf image as a screen saver.

Picturetrail - a very cool application to highlight particular books

Pathfinders for elementary - Jog the Web

Glogster - Poster yourself
