Creating online activities/games

[Woldehanna, Rahel]

Hi Everyone,

My Name is Rahel. I work in a technology based after-school program in
Washington, DC.  I have started student's co-teaching class in my
teenagers' class. My students came up with different technology based
topics to teach their classmates.
Now they are in the process of looking for free software or shareware to
create their activities. However, it has been a challenge choosing the
simplest and most effective software. We need some help in choosing the
best software for the different activities. Their topics include

1.Creating simple online animations
2.Creating online comic Books
3.Designing dream house (3D building )
 4.Creating Music video ( Music clip editor)
5.Creating simple web-based games/puzzles

They are using www.download.com to search for free software. The website
has lots of free software but sorting through the list to find the simplest
one has been challenging.

If there is anyone who has used any free software to create activities in
the topics listed above, we would greatly appreciate your assistant.

Anything that anyone has or can direct us  would be helpful.

Thank you,

Rahel Woldehanna
