I couldn’t resist a second Halloween posting once I discovered that Jib Jab (one of my favorite sites) now offers opportunities for you (or students) to take on movie roles. Check out my sample below and Happy Halloween!

MyLiveGallery.com is a nifty online application that makes it simple to instantly create live galleries, photo albums and slideshows online. Turn your photos into interactive galleries and share them with others in just a few clicks. Specify the name of your show, upload your pictures or get photos from Flickr, select a theme and the gallery is ready! You don’t need to register for an account and you don’t need Flash. These shows could be used as mini art galleries, historical displays, biographical image timelines and more. Select colors and a side or top display for your galleries.

You are limited to 10 photographs and your pictures need to be in JPG format with a maximum width/height of 1600×1200 and a maximum picture size of 512kb each. Upload was simple and intuitive, thought it would be nice if the site featured a bulk upload feature (I know, I know….what do you want for free!?).

I used photographs from Flickr to create a Jack-O-Lantern slideshow tribute. Simply click on the button below to view the gallery.

Happy Halloween Eve! I hope you enjoy the great resources and videos I discovered and bookmarked this week. In no particular order, I have listed my favorite top 10 sites, blog posts, and videos of the week below. Feel free to share your favorite finds of the week using the comment link found at the bottom of this post.

1. I planned to share a cool tech-tip/script with you today, but Nick Peachy did such a good job describing this cool YouTube strategy I would suggest that you take a few moments to read his post: My New Favourite YouTube Tool. The YouTube script he describes in his blog posting really is a great tool to know about and Nick did a great job describing it.
2. Desktop Background SlideShow - learn how you can create a marvelous screensaver using the free slideshow program/application described in the Tweaking with Fishal blog.
3. The Alphabetizer – It’s simple. Enter your terms in the input box, one per line, and they will be alphabetized.
4. Powerful Personal Learning Networks PLN - an excellent Slideshare presentation with embedded YouTube and posted by Mark Woolley…

5. Gavin Dudeney’s Six Attitudes to Technology – an excellent post I read on the Six Things blog.
6. Amelia Earhart Links – a marvelous portal of links about Amelia Earhart
7. Where’s Waldo? – My kids loved the Where’s Waldo books when they were young and I always carried Waldo books in my substitute bag back in my per diem sub days…this site offers a fun and fanciful online opportunity to revisit a “good friend.”
8. Science News for Kids – “a web site devoted to science news for children ages 9 to 14. The site offers timely items of interest to kids, accompanied by suggestions for hands-on activities, books, articles, Web resources, and other useful materials.”
9. Bemboszoo – this site features marvelous animals created out of alphabet letters. You have to visit and play with the site to fully appreciate it.
10. World Food Programme: A Billion for a Billion – If you’re reading this, you can make a difference. It starts with one person and this video will give you a sobering perspective (along with statistics) regarding hunger in our world.
