Art, Music & More!

 

EarSketch - Earsketch provides an innovative and unique learning experience by blending computer coding concepts with music theory. Beginning coders can follow guided tutorials to instantly apply computer programming languages (Python or Javascript) to create loops, construct beats, and generate sound effects.

Kerpoof - Kerpoof is an online story and comic-creator which allows students to create comic scenes and stories, as well as animated movies, cards, drawings, doodles, and pictures. There are no ads or inappropriate content, and the artwork is fun and lively. Finished products may be saved, printed, or emailed. Great site for story creating! (edutopia.org)

 

 Story Jumper - Story Jumper is a wonderful site that allows children to create their very own books. You can create cover pages, add text, upload drawings or photos to illustrate your story, and you can use the Story Jumper clipart gallery, too. (edutopia.org)

 

Tagxedo - Tagxedo is a Wordle-esque site that allows students to create beautiful word clouds. The great thing about Tagxedo that in my opinion is where Wordle falls short is the ability for users to save their creations (without logging in) as either a jpeg or png. (edutopia.org)

 

 Virtual Piano - As a computer teacher, I can see this site as having huge potential. Virtual Piano is a beautifully sounding piano that you play by typing on your keyboard. You can play "Für Elise" by following the key-pattern available. (edutopia.org)
