    This looks to be a robust assessment tool that allows teachers to track student progress. Some of the features include: a learning map that displays progres towards mastery of standards (CCLS aligned) and tools to support teachers in interpreting data. It also item analysis, grade-level stats and support tools that teachers can use to design interim assessments and more.

  • PowerPoint’s worst offense is not a chart like the spaghetti graphic, which was first uncovered by NBC’s Richard Engel, but rigid lists of bullet points (in, say, a presentation on a conflict’s causes) that take no account of interconnected political, economic and ethnic forces.
  • behind all the PowerPoint jokes are serious concerns that the program stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making.
  • “I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,” Lieutenant Nuxoll told the Web site. “Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a microgrant? Make a storyboard.”

      Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.  Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused.  
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • hierarchical ordering of a confused world
  • the slides impart less information than a five-page paper can hold, and that they relieve the briefer of the need to polish writing to convey an analytic, persuasive point
  • “Dumb-Dumb Bullets,
  • vague PowerPoint slides
  • oes come in handy when the goal is not imparting information

    Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand-in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.   Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused as a replacement for rigorous critical thinking around complex issues.  It's a visual aide, not a complete platform for stand-alone communication.

    Authors say these applications are, "technology every educator should know." Some new applications... I was impressed that the authors include alignment to NETS-T for each tool. We can share the NETS alignment along with the tool.

    Excellent! Takes a while to search through, but there is something for everyone here and it's a good resource for us to find good new tools to use for in-school PD sessions. It's one of those sites you need to revisit every few months.

    Atmosphir is a 3D game design tool that I learned about while attending Ed Camp NYC. You build with blocks, like stacking Legos, dragging blocks on the screen. This program allows the user to build an entire world (exploding platforms, keys, locks, treasures, spawning system) that you create from scratch.
