__More Cutting Edge Tools:__
__**ACTIVITY**__ Create an xtranormal account and begin to shoot a movie. Learn how to share your movie. __**ACTIVITY**__: Create an account and add Content specific content. Different files will be looked at. __**ACTIVITY**__: Create an account and create a Prezi on a Cutting Edge Technology Tool.
 * __Xtranormal__ xtranormal’s mission is to bring movie-making to the people. Everyone watches movies and we believe everyone can make movies. Movie-making, short and long, online and on-screen, private and public, will be the most important communications process of the 21st century. Our revolutionary approach to movie-making builds on an almost universally held skill—typing. You type something; we turn it into a movie. On the web and on the desktop.
 * Posterous - is a very simple blogging system. If you haven’t yet got into blogging this is by far the simplest way to start. Just post to your Posterous blog using email and attach any type of file – photo, MP3, video, document, etc - if you want to include it. If you already have a blog elsewhere (e.g. Blogger, Wordpress or Typepad) you can also auto-post to it, or even auto-post to Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.
 * Prezi - is the highest ranked newcomer on the list. It’s a Flash-based app that lets you build amazing, non-linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map containing words, links, images, videos, etc.
 * [|myUdutu] - is course authoring software that lets you build a course very quickly and easily online either on your own or collaboratively with others. You can easily import existing content, e.g. PowerPoint presentations
 * __ACTIVITY__**: Begin to develop some online Course material. Should be centered around teaching teachers about infusing a technology tool.
