With Capzles, users can create interactive digital products that incorporate images, video, audio, and text. Users can even upload Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files. A learner could create a capzle that combines images, articles, PowerPoint presentations, and audio, which could consist of background music, narration, (or both with the help of Audacity). This has the potential to be used to present any kind of information, so it would work well in a variety of projects. It is obviously great as an interactive timeline, but it's also an excellent digital storytelling tool, which lends itself perfectly to presenting many different types of content. Check out this example on Apple:

Another site you should check out is Stixy. This site allows users to present image files, documents, notes, and lists, on a type of digital bulletin board called a Stixyboard. Users can also create task lists, appointments and bookmarks using the Stixyboard.
Stixy is a great collaboration tool, but it could also be used for presentations and final products. Learners can use it to collaborate on projects, as a presentation tool, to organize information such as during research, to display photos, share files with each other, and much more.
The Stixyboards can be shared in several different ways. You can invite certain people to view the Stixyboard, share with large numbers of people with a password, or open it up for all the world to see.
There are an infinite number of ways you could use Capzles and Stixy. Be sure to share your ideas and experiences by emailing me or (better yet) by placing them in the comments section of this post. Have fun!

I whipped up a quick example of a working Stixyboard on Immigration that shows how kids could compile visuals, share files, and keep track of tasks. This is just a rough example that still needs some design work. I'm sure our kids could come up with some amazing products!
