Blabberize

On Blabberize.com you can make photos talk! All you have to do is upload a photo to the site and mark the mouth(s). Then you can upload audio or use your microphone or telephone to record your own. Blabberize will make the mouth(s) move up and down to match the audio.

Sometimes marking the mouth(s) can be a little tricky. Also, if you are recording your own audio you have to be careful about Ps, Ts, talking too loudly, etc. because the jaw could drop waaaay too far.

Sketchcast

Sketchcast.com is a very interesting online tool.

You make a drawing using your mouse and then Scetchcast will play it back. You can choose from a variety of different colors and even text. I could see it being used for a lot of different things.

Prints

I came across this site that has interactive animations about how prints are made. It's pretty cool. Here's the link:

280 Slides

280slides.com is pretty much an online PowerPoint. I think it's really cool because it has a built in tool that lets you find pictures and videos from the internet and put them in your presentation without leaving the site. You can also access your presentations from any computer.

I would reccomend using 280 slides only on faster computers, as it can be very slow at times. It doesn't have some of the great features PowerPoint does.

But for an online, free program, it's pretty good.

Speaking of presentation programs, I heard that Microsoft will be releasing its new online tool at the end of June!
