Have you ever wanted to convert files without the need to download software? If so, Zamzar is dedicated to helping you transform your songs, videos, images and documents into different formats: http://www.zamzar.com/
What I like about Zamzar is that it allows me to download videos from YouTube and United Streaming (or any other website) and then convert them to an FLV format which is the only format that can be embedded directly into SMART Notebook pages.

A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to leave comments in 5 ways – using voice (with a mic or phone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Voicethread is basically a Web-based digital-storytelling application that allows users to share their stories with anyone in the world or they can be kept private for selected individuals. One great benefit of Voicethread is that it allows an entire group’s story to be told and collected in one place.

Teachers and students are using VoiceThread as a storytelling tool, a deep thinking tool, a research tool, an expository communication tool, and even an assessment tool.
