Project Poster
Let me introduce Project Poster. It is another great tool for teachers to use with students to share work in a new format. This is what their website has to say about the tool.
Project Poster allows students to make online school projects and short
reports quickly and easily. Students can include one image (.gif or .jpg
format), four links to other Web pages, and a report of up to 3,500 characters.
These posters are available to the public on the Internet after they have been
reviewed. The reports MUST relate to a school subject and the teacher must
register so his/her students can use Project Poster, but there is NO CHARGE for
its use.
And, yes, it is nearly 2 AM, and I am still up. I am just too excited about my teacher demonstration today (and by today I mean in a few hours). ;>)

You can attach picture files to the project, so yes, you can scan something in. You just save it as a jpeg or gif file after you scan it and insert it that way.
It would be great for ESL! They need to see their work published in different ways so they can get the literacy experience in an authentic manner.
And Janelle, stop it. You're making me blush. (Why doesn't Blogger have smileys?)

They're different formats for images----usually jpegs are a bit more reliable as far as satisfying all platforms.

If we have a scanner somewhere, I will be more than happy to show you. In the meantime, look here for a quick overview of file types. It gives a little bit of the techy terms, but it has some basic descriptions and comparison pictures.
