Sample Applications for the Reading/Language Arts Classroom:

• Collect images, videos, and multimedia for a research topic.
  
• Brainstorm ideas.
  
• Create a gallery of images relating to a novel or short story.
  
• Collaborate on a project.
  

Notes and Caveats:

• Deadlines are definitely needed to avoid time wasted fussing with images and other bells and whistles.
• You'll need to devise a way for students to credit images and videos used which doesn't distract from the presentation.
