VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slideshow that allows students to comment on images, documents, and video through text, video, and audio files. Teachers can set up groups and classes as well as moderate comments, embed to blogs, and export to audio files. It is an easy way to differentiate instruction while providing engaging choices to “show” learning, engage in conversation, and think openly and critically about content.

This diagram editor is easy to use, and you can save your work on their servers for free. Gliffy Online has two ways to make document sharing simple. Collaboration enables others to see and edit your work by simply entering their email address. Publishing creates a read-only, or public, image of your diagram that you can easily embed in a wiki, blog, or other type of web software.
I would give this a four out of five stars. You can find Gliffy at this link. www.gliffy.com/ Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform for teachers and students. You can create a game in minutes- which are called 'kahoots'. You can make a series of multiple choice questions. The format and number of questions are up to you. You can add videos, images, and diagrams to amplify engagement. They are best played in a group setting. Players answer the questions on their own devices, while the questions are displayed on a share screen to unite the lesson. And you don't have to create your own game, you could choose from the millions of games that are existing.
I would give Kahoot a five out of five stars. I've used kahoot many times, and I never had a bad experience with it. You can find Kahoot at these two links. https://kahoot.com/ https://kahoot.it/ Google has managed to copy Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with Google Spreadsheets, Docs, and Presentations. You can upload, create, and store all your files online, and then download them to other office applications and save them on your hard drive or share your work with others online. Google surrounds these tools with their famous search application, access to online books, and a scholars’ search for online documents. The tools for teaching are virtually endless.
I would give this five out of five stars on this Web 2.0 tool review. I use Google Docs all the time to organize all of my school work. You can find Google Docs at this link. https://www.google.com/docs/about/ Prezi is a site where you can make a presentation. You can choose or create your own theme to fit your topic. You can also choose the transition for one page to the next. It is free to use, and very easy also. I have nothing against Prezi.
I would recommend to use Prezi for Presentations or Slideshows. I would give Prezi 5 out of 5. You can find Prezi at this link. www.prezi.com I will be posting reviews of different Web 2.0 tools here.
