KompoZer

KompoZer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web page editor, that is free to download and use. Kompozer is similar to Dreamweaver, which is a very expensive program to buy. Kopzer also gives you the option to edit your web page in HTML Code, as well as WYSIWYG. I found the program very easy to learn with some help from http://www.thesitewizard.com/gettingstarted/kompozer-tutorial-1.shtml, which has some great information to assist in building a web page.

Microsoft's Photo Story 3

I learned how to use Microsoft’s Photo Story 3 this week. This program was very easy to use and has endless possibilities. Photo Story 3 is free to download and you can use any picture you have access to. With this software you can create a slide show of pictures complete with animations, music, and/or voice over. In the classroom I can see students using this to tell their own stories. Students could also give how to speeches and insert their own pictures. This could also be a good way for students to learn how to communicate more effectively. Students can also create a scrapbook from a family vacation and share it with others. I can see how Photo Story 3 can have lots of possibilities in the classroom.
