Mark Book allows you to show a graph of marks, you can weight marks differently. How is it sold? The Board buys it, or you can buy it for $29. You can change the end result of marks from "average" to "blended". Remember to save your marks on a USB key.

We looked at TurnItIn.com: "Turnitin Originality Checking & Plagiarism Prevention is the #1 web-based solution that lets educators and their students check written work for improper citation or misappropriated content."



We also talked about **Photo Story.**
 * You can put a title with your photos, have a black background and you can narrate to go along with your photos.
 * You can make it a movie.
 * You hit the record button, based on the amount of time you talk the picture will stay.
 * It's free but you have to download and install it.
 * You can choose music from its file and add it and choose a tempo.
 * It's not as difficult as creating your own movie. Idea: you can give the students the image and ask them to narrate the description (for a test or assignment).



Here's a photo story that I made in class:
