Tools

=__Tools__=

__﻿Below is a list of online tools that I have found useful.__
=__Website Creation Tools__=
 * ===Moodle - lisd.moodle.us===
 * You will need to take a LISD course in creating Moodle sites. This is a great space not only to deliver RIA activities, but other online content as well.
 * ===**Google Websites [|www.google.com/sites]**===
 * ======Google offers a wide range of tools, includinga website creation tool. They have lots of templates to choose from and the editting tools are pretty simple to use.======
 * =Weebly []=
 * Weebly offers free websites for educators. They are very simple and require almost no technical skills to setup and maintain. RIAs are also easily incorporated
 * ==Wikispaces - www.wikispaces.com==
 * This wiki is done on Wikispaces, and is also easy to use and edit. This is not as easy as Weeble, but you can also give other access (i.e. students) persmission to update some of the pages, which allows for online sharing.

=__Voki - online recording with a avator__= Voki's allow you to place an avatar on a website that can speak whatever you want. These are fun to do and fun for students to experiment with.

=__Delicious - Social Bookmarking__= I have just entered the world of social bookmarking. However, I am always adding new sites/tools that I find interesting or want to explore more. Feel free to check out my bookmarks periodically for new ideas. []

=__Pixel Estimation__= =Sometimes when working with the RIA set of tools, I have found it necessary to re-size images that i found on the web. These tools help to estimate sizes and pixels, making this process slightly easier.=

Calculator to maintain the aspect ratio: []

This calculator will let you see the size based on the number of pixels: []
