Roojoom

A Roojoom is a great interactive site that can be used for a single topic. It's a great way to have students look up information about a topic and organize it so it can be easily viewed.

Roojoom is a free website. All you have to do is sign up. Once you do you click "Create Roojoom." You then pick your title for your Roojoom and write a description about it. Once finished with that, on the right hand side you will see a number "1" and click on add step. Each step is called a track. You can then do research on another web tab about your topic. You can put in anything you want about that topic, youtube videos, pictures, articles, blogs, etc. Once you have found something you like, you can copy the URL and paste it into your step, give it a title, and description, and click finish. Your first step is then added. You can continue to do this until you have everything you want in your Roojoom. You can share it and then anyone can look through it once they hit start.

The Roojoom I created was one for a class I had to take. I did my Roojoom on technology to go along with this blog. It was titled Technology in the Classroom. I found two youtube videos about the importance of technology, an article, a blog, and a descriptive picture. When someone goes to watch this Roojoom, they will view each track and what it has to offer. Below is the link to my Roojoom as well as a picture of what mine looks like.
