Supporting Early Literacy with Technology

Here are the websites we discussed to support early literacy:

Fotobabble - for making your photos talk

Bubblesnaps - for adding dialogue balloons to your photos

Vocaroo - sending audio email

Bubblus - brainstorming/mind mapping tool, also used for making family trees, math fact families, and whatever else little ones dream up!

Storybird
 - gorgeous professional artwork for creating online books

Wordle - makes beautiful word clouds

Tagxedo - makes word clouds in shapes

Bunny Keyboarding
 - this is the first site I use - simple and fun

Big Brown Bear Keyboarding - this is the 2nd site I use with my first graders - they love this!

Cup Stacking Keyboarding
 - this is trickier, and you have to find the keys faster.

Burst the Bubble - this is the fastest paced keyboarding site


Comic Life is an app on the MLTI image that is great for making class posters.
 

Mind Node is also an app on the MLTI image and is great for brainstorming/mind mapping
