"Top Five Educational Technology Blogs to Follow in 2010"

Just a summary of a few of the better comments from this Voicethread: 1) literacy - collaborative story writing; sharing and reflection on writing; peer review and feedback; book reviews; with younger learners, picture book comments 2) foreign language learning - recitation and practice of pronunciation, commenting on a picture (focus on tense, fluency, or listening comprehension) 3) Thinking skills - brainstorming, problem-solving, word-problem solving (maths), critical thinking/reflection 4) distance education - contact with sick students/sick teacher 5) professional development - creation of presentations for promoting web 2.0 apps; use as an action research collaboration forum

I had the chance to see one of our classmates use this technology with a teacher in Taipei for fostering English language skills. The students were asked to plan a trip to a foreign country, including how they were going to get there, their travel plans, lodging, and potential problems they would face. They were asked to solve those problems and make a conclusion for their presentation. They presented in groups of two, using pictures from the internet and recording their voices for each slide. I listened to each presentation and provided detailed written feedback in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension, and grammar. The teacher said that the students were excited and encouraged to have this kind of feedback and worked hard to finish their project and make recommended improvements. Their motivation and attitude of the project were both good. However, the authenticity of the final product was somewhat limited by the fact that their Voicethreads were private, for privacy concerns. Nevertheless, I see the benefit from this activity and hope that the example provides some insight.

如何在學術上使用twitter

I think it does! Surf the Internet and get everything.

大家可以試試這個軟體，不過如果你要同時有影片跟音效或是因月，最好有喇吧，才可以同時以影片擷取跟麥克風收音，不然如果是轉錄影片，想要直接由影片中的音效當背景聲音，可能沒有辦法~我現在還在另想法子~大家可以先試試!!!

我用的是最下面的swf2video 1.0 試用版，可以把flash動畫的swf檔轉成常用的avi檔，因為原本的swf動畫檔youtube不收，所以找到這個軟體，希望對大家有幫助唷!!!

雖然要下載才能用，但是檔案很小&簡單操作，在教學活動可以套用唷!
