Bite Slide

Research, create, and present
Using different tools in your school projects can be confusing for students and difficult to manage. Biteslide makes it a breeze to run your projects from start to finish.

You DO have to create an account, but the great thing is that students can search for pictures and information to put in their presentation, and even if you type in an inappropriate word (you know I had to) the software won't show the image. Whoo-hoo!

Then, students can present to the class or send to a teacher. It is so super simple that first graders can use it. Click here to visit the site.

Canon Store has a great learning site for photography



This has not only a camera simulator, but a simulator with FEEDBACK! Students can see what does and does not work when they are aiming for the correct exposure. A great classroom resource.
