Prezi - The Zooming Presentation Editor - 0 views

  •  
    This presentation tool is very interesting. It certainly is different from the standard powerpoint. I find the movement from one slide to another to be very engaging. I viewed a presentation that a teacher used to introduce herself to her class. I could see using this with my 2nd grade class as a way to introduce myself or to tell them about my 10 favorite books.

Doing What Works - Home - 1 views

    This website has research-based practices and translates it into practical tools to improve classroom instruction. You can learn what works, understand the research, see what works, see it actually in action many times in the classroom through video, and do what works, download tools that can support the work. This is an awesome sight for educators! This site has many things that teachers could use to learn about and hone in on their instructional practices. It is a great springboard for learning and then using some web 2.0 tools to provide opportunities to collaborate with teachers either within their districts or in other districts would be a powerful learning tool.

      Seems like a neat tool to use in a classroom. Student could create their presentations and use their own voices to narrate. Since it is online with many ways to add comments, it could be used anywhere, not have to be done in school. I'm not sure about the K-12 edu voice. It seems like a nice thing to have, but it does have a subscription cost.

    Create multi-media slide shows that contain images, documents, and video. Comments can be left on each slide in 5 different ways. his could be use with students to create all kinds of presentations and ways to display their learning. They could video tape a science lab and then use this to narrate their learning as they go through the video. Teachers could use this tool to video their classroom and then collaborate with one another using this tool. The collaboration could take place with teacher from different districts, states, even countries.

About Common Craft - Who We Are (And What We Do) - Common Craft - Our Product is Explan... - 5 views

  • We Cover Subjects That Matter in the 21st Century Technology Green Money Society
    • Kim Swartz
       
      These have uses as we think about the 21st Century learners. Right away it makes me think of financial literacy.
  •  
    This site has quick videos (around three minutes or less) that explain things in very simple terms. They use paper cut outs as they explain about technology, money, etc. I know that Barb has used these in our class. I didn't realize there were so many. When I looked at some of them, I thought about the 21st Century learner and how teachers might use these videos with students to help them learn about finances. They can be used personally for free or professionally for a fee. Teachers would have to be careful not to infringe on copyright issues, but this would be a nice way to introduce many concepts to students.
  •  
    I love the Common Craft products, too! Every time I watch one of the videos, I'm amazed at the clarity of the explanation! They are able to take very complex tools, and make them seem simple. I think one of the best things about this is that they provide a "conceptual" look at the tool, rather than simply a "how to use it" video. For me, I often find myself experimenting with how to use a tool, before I really even understand conceptually what the tool is and what it can do! (A clear example of the many times when I don't know what I don't know!) This Common Craft site is one that I will bookmark, and return to often.

YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    I chose YouTube as a business education web 2.0 tool because many businesses use YouTube to launch alternate marketing campaigns. A recent example is Old Spice. The "Old Spice Guy" responded to messages that were submitted via Twitter. The result was both personal and entertaining.

The Newspaper Clipping Image Generator - Create your own fun newspaper - 0 views

  •  
    This would be a fun resource for students for something like writing an article or book summary. They can write a very succinct "newspaper" article, save the resulting image, and then students can read summaries written by classmates.

      I highlighted some of the ones that I looked into that seemed worthwhile for the kids. I haven't had time to look into all of them yet!
  •  
    Tons of links to technology resources.
  •  
    WOW, there are so many links on this page. This resource would be helpful for anyone who is interested in using technology in their classroom. I was most interested in the fact that some of the sites were already ear-marked for use with smart boards. Some of the sites were practice sites for kids to use at home. I will be adding those to my parent wiki once school starts.
  •  
    I am also very happy to see all the activities involving smart boards. Our district is purchasing them for many of our classrooms and I will share this resource with staff next month!

Promethean planet resources - 1 views

  •  
    This is my most widely used web site.
  •  
    This resource is updated constantly. Teachers can send in flipcharts to be used on Promethean boards. It isn't a text, more of a tool for finding resources. I wanted to share it because it is SO helpful if your room is equipped with Promethean boards.

Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds - 1 views

  • ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
  •  
    I know that this isn't the newest Web 2.0 tool, but I love it. I can see using this with older students to create a autobiographical image of themselves. Students could also create a Wordle for their favorite poem or a series of quotes. At a conference someone did a wordle for their library mission statement.
