Sometimes we forget some of the easy, basic things that are right under our noses, but which might make a great lesson, or otherwise make life easier. So here's a brief reminder of some of the things you can do with the tools you already have.
In RenWeb:
WebTests - You can create assignments or graded, monitored quizzes and tests right in RenWeb. Your students take them online through RenWeb and the grades import right into your gradebook. Definitely worth a look! Here's a Flash video showing how it works.
Homework Drop Box - Convenient for you and your students. Keep student work from clogging up your email inbox by having them drop their assignments in the online drop box. Here's how.
In your Teacher Apps folder:
PhotoScape - This is easy-to-use photo editing software that you can use at school or download for free at home. You can make quick collages, special effects, and maybe most usefully, resize dozens of photos with one click! Here's a Flash video showing how to resize multiple photos.
PhotoStory - Super easy-to-use! Have your students create "movies" from still photos, complete with music, narration and special effects. A great project idea.
MovieMaker - Much like PhotoStory, but with video too!
See our Tech Handouts page for instructions and videos on using PhotoStory and MovieMaker.
