 * [] - a picture slide show where you just upload pictures and the slide show is created for you. This will get students looking out to their audience more and not just reading from a powerpoint as you can not include words on this slide show.
 * __ [] __ is a visual search. The homepage doesn't look like much, but enter a search term and Mugurdy comes to life. It displays serach results as a grid of screenshots of each page in the serach results. Place your cursor over one of the screenshots to see an enlarge image of each screenshot.

 * Annenberg Media provides lesson plans that model using video as a part of the lesson rather than using video as the lesson. Lesson plans are categorized by content and grade level. Most of the lesson plans include free online videos. To find lessons that include free online videos look for a small "VOD" symbol attached near the title of each lesson plan. Clicking the VOD symbol will launch a video player in a new window.

Mugurdy's homepage doesn't look like much, but enter a search term and Mugurdy comes to life. Mugurdy displays search results as a grid of screenshots of each page in the search results. Place your cursor over one of the screenshots to see an enlarged image of each screenshot.
