Mapfab – http://www.mapfab.com

This is a great free tool that you don’t even need to sign up to that lays over google maps. Basically you can customize your own maps and save them for others to use just share the link.

You can you draw lines, place marks on different places, add a description and information about a certain place on the map, basically everything you can do on google maps but it is just easier. Here is one I made earlier.

Newspaper Clipping Generator – http://tinyurl.com/v5dns

I was looking to make up some newspaper cuttings from real papers and after scanning them in they just didn’t look good enough, then I remembered this site that a brilliant Aussie teacher showed me last year, her name is Kylie Taig @Ky_maree.

This is a really simple tool where you can generate your own newspaper clippings in just a couple of minutes then download them as a image in jpg format. This great example literally took 3 minutes to produce but you can imaging what students could produce. I think this is a great tool.

Sound Cloud – www.soundcloud.com

Special thanks to Ben for this suggestion who is a great languages teacher at Saltash.net – @itsmerowey. It is a great platform to share audio with other people either by uploading previous sounds or recording live ones via the website.

I started playing around with Sound Cloud and was looking for old wav files to upload and share as well as recording original sound. I discovered this rap I created about 4 years ago. It was used to raise awareness of the world famous Recharge the Battery project – maybe the students project in 2008. This was performed live in an Assembly dressed in a Chicken Suit assisted by Cormack a former Yr10 student.

You can listen to the Free Range Rap here I am sure it will give you a laugh:
