Vimeo

I have not actually played with Vimeo but I saw some student created movies on one of my teachers' wiki. Just thought this would be another option.

VOICETHREAD

I love VOICETHREAD! If I were a classroom teacher, I would defiantly be using this terrific, free (for K-12 educators), collaborative multimedia storytelling web application. Check out these resources:
1. Digitally Speaking

BIG UNIVERSE

Check this out...BigUniverse.com, (I found this from a blog that talked about LookyBook.com). It’s very similar in that you can READ children’s books online easily but, even MORE fun, you can actually CREATE YOUR OWN!

The site layout is extremely easy to navigate, with vibrant colors, logical design, friendly fonts, and a great balance of text and images. Signup is easy and free. The books are easily accessed and totally free.

It wasn’t designed for reading online, but great to use with a Lightsmith or an interactive whiteboard. You can quickly preview the entire book using the arrow keys or this handy thumbnail mode. This site lets you CREATE YOUR OWN books with a simple-to-use applet called the Big Universe Author(tm): This is GREAT!
Drag-and-Drop.... I can see upper elementary kids making their own books here EASILY.

QLIPBOARD

Narrate your slideshows with QlipBoard!

Came across Qlipboard http://www.qlipmedia.com/ ... it provides a neat way to annotate photos with simple drawing tools and/or your own voice. The interface is very easy and user-friendly.

You import your photos into this workspace, then arrange them in the order you want, add your annotations, then publish! Qlipboard is a download and can be added to your computer or you can NOW use Qlipboard online. The look is different than above. It is a simple version of voicethread.
