    "This is a tutorial on how to create a presentation with voice-over on MS PowerPoint, and then converting it into a Flash file using AuthorPoint Lite add-on. Next, you can upload the presentation to WiZiQ. You can share and embed it on any website. You can also use it for your WizIQ virtual classes. " This is a nice little tutorial for a free app -- thanks for the tip from Hanaa K Hamis, Webhead.

Narrable, UtellStory, Present.me, Hello Slide, and Animoto, which has recently added a video clip option. Each has advantages, and Byrne's links at the bottom lead to some other alternatives and online tutorials. Let your students get creative.

    "Virtual Impersonation "Creating social media posts and profiles for people (real/fictional), places, plants, and animals has proven to be an engaging and thought-provoking experience for students. From creating FaceBook pages for endangered species to Tweets from Abe Lincoln, virtual impersonation can be a powerful tool for learning. I recently shared a great Google Slides Instagram post template. A coworker was looking for something a bit more interactive that would allow for multiple posts, so I built a multi-slide profile/gallery template. "The Instagram template is available for Keynote, Google Slides, or PowerPoint. Students just replace the profile text (name, job/title, description, location), then begin replacing picture placeholders with images of their choosing. Each small image placeholder is hyperlinked to a separate slide for that image's post." Impersonating an historical figure or book character, et al., is a great way to really get into the content.

    "Few approaches to digital storytelling have been as popular among students as stop motion video. Students can make a high-quality stop-motion animation, or stop-motion video with very simple tools, including Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, iMovie, etc. The basic idea is to take a series of photos that are assembled into a video to show motion. Stop Motion Studio is an app that makes the video creation process incredibly simple, allowing students to keep their primary focus on storytelling. Plus it's free and available for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows."

    Tops sins include too much text with no markers, audio-only sessions (where students can't read and re-check), no to-do list (so students can't tell what's happening), no weekly markers to indicate how they are doing in the course, and over-dependence on Powerpoint presentations (where info is visual, but fleeting).

    "Google Slides is a great collaborative tool that creates slides rather like PowerPoint but online. I have used this tool extensively for groups to create slides at home but also in the class. I often use one set of slides and give one slide to each group of students to work on. In this video I suggest a few useful tips of how to work with this excellent teacher tech tool. It is a quick 5 minute introduction to working with Google Slides. I also recommend you watch the 5 minute videos on working with Google Docs. Google Docs is also good for collabaration and works in a similar way. "

    A small app will record from your computer over slides and videos. You will probably quickly run out of storage on the KV cloud and be asked to move to the (paid) pro version. However, this might be useful for students to make their own presentation sound great -- good listening/speaking practice. Students must sign up to use the app, but can share their productions through email addresses. I don't know if it is any simpler or more functional than the built in recording function of PowerPoint, or any of the free recorders like Audacity.

  • But she loves the fact that her two children, a fourth-grader and first-grader, are learning technology, including PowerPoint and educational games.
  • Mr. Share bases his buying decisions on two main factors: what his teachers tell him they need, and his experience. For instance, he said he resisted getting the interactive whiteboards sold as Smart Boards until, one day in 2008, he saw a teacher trying to mimic the product with a jury-rigged projector setup. “It was an ‘Aha!’ moment,” he said, leading him to buy Smart Boards, made by a company called Smart Technologies.

  • “The data is pretty weak. It’s very difficult when we’re pressed to come up with convincing data,”
  • he said change of a historic magnitude is inevitably coming to classrooms this decade: “It’s one of the three or four biggest things happening in the world today.”
  • schools are being motivated by a blind faith in technology and an overemphasis on digital skills — like using PowerPoint and multimedia tools — at the expense of math, reading and writing fundamentals. They say the technology advocates have it backward
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • tough financial choices. In Kyrene, for example, even as technology spending has grown, the rest of the district’s budget has shrunk, leading to bigger classes and fewer periods of music, art and physical education.
  • The district leaders’ position is that technology has inspired students and helped them grow, but that there is no good way to quantify those achievements — putting them in a tough spot with voters deciding whether to bankroll this approach again. “My gut is telling me we’ve had growth,” said David K. Schauer, the superintendent here. “But we have to have some measure that is valid, and we don’t have that.”
  • Since then, the ambitions of those who champion educational technology have grown — from merely equipping schools with computers and instructional software, to putting technology at the center of the classroom and building the teaching around it.
  • . The district’s pitch was based not on the idea that test scores would rise, but that technology represented the future.
  • For instance, in the Maine math study, it is hard to separate the effect of the laptops from the effect of the teacher training.
  • “Rather than being a cure-all or silver bullet, one-to-one laptop programs may simply amplify what’s already occurring — for better or worse,” wrote Bryan Goodwin, spokesman for Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning, a nonpartisan group that did the study, in an essay. Good teachers, he said, can make good use of computers, while bad teachers won’t, and they and their students could wind up becoming distracted by the technology.
  • Larry Cuban, an education professor emeritus at Stanford University, said the research did not justify big investments by districts. “There is insufficient evidence to spend that kind of money. Period, period, period,” he said. “There is no body of evidence that shows a trend line.”
  • “In places where we’ve had a large implementing of technology and scores are flat, I see that as great,” she said. “Test scores are the same, but look at all the other things students are doing: learning to use the Internet to research, learning to organize their work, learning to use professional writing tools, learning to collaborate with others.”
  • It was something Ms. Furman doubted would have happened if the students had been using computers. “There is a connection between the physical hand on the paper and the words on the page,” she said. “It’s intimate.” But, she said, computers play an important role in helping students get their ideas down more easily, edit their work so they can see instant improvement, and share it with the class. She uses a document camera to display a student’s paper at the front of the room for others to dissect. Ms. Furman said the creative and editing tools, by inspiring students to make quick improvements to their writing, pay dividends in the form of higher-quality work. Last year, 14 of her students were chosen as finalists in a statewide essay contest that asked them how literature had affected their lives. “I was running down the hall, weeping, saying, ‘Get these students together. We need to tell them they’ve won!’ ”
  • For him, the best educational uses of computers are those that have no good digital equivalent. As examples, he suggests using digital sensors in a science class to help students observe chemical or physical changes, or using multimedia tools to reach disabled children.
  • engagement is a “fluffy term” that can slide past critical analysis. And Professor Cuban at Stanford argues that keeping children engaged requires an environment of constant novelty,

      Engagement can also mean sustained interest over a long term, e.g., Tiny Zoo.

  • computers can distract and not instruct.

Periodically, the game gives him a message: “Try again.” He tries again. “Even if he doesn’t get it right, it’s getting him to think quicker,” says the teacher, Ms. Asta. She leans down next to him: “Six plus one is seven. Click here.” She helps him shoot the right target. “See, you shot him.”

      These are activities tat can't be measured with a standardized test. Can standardized tests encompass thinking skills beyond the most modest level?
  • classmates used a video camera to film a skit about Woodrow Wilson’s 14-point speech during World War I
  • Professor Cuban at Stanford said research showed that student performance did not improve significantly until classes fell under roughly 15 students, and did not get much worse unless they rose above 30. At the same time, he says bigger classes can frustrate teachers, making it hard to attract and retain talented ones.

      How much incremental improvement is made by having one student more or less? Ed research can't determine that, but it can be felt palpably in a classroom.

      So it has to be teachers who find the creative uses.
  • . Sales of computer software to schools for classroom use were $1.89 billion in 2010. Spending on hardware is more difficult to measure, researchers say, but some put the figure at five times that amount.

  • Friday, January 27, 2006 My students are blogging! Today I brought my intermediate students to the computer lab to get them set up on our class blog. They were confused at first, but I think they are starting to get the hang of it. After showing them around, I had them each post something just for the experience of posting. Then I had them comment on each others' posts. There was a lot of laughter and excitement as they were reading the comments. I am asking the to use the blog for some very specific purposes: to post daily logs, to post summaries of our reading, and to answer specific questions that I ask. I haven't decided yet if I will require comments. I hope they will pick up on it on their own, but I can easily build that in to my plan if they don't. I realized today just how technologically inexperienced they are. They can do email and, since last semester, use PowerPoint, but there is so much they can't do, but it is only because they have never tried to do it. I hope that this class blog will give them some skills and experience that will be transferable to other uses of technology. posted by Nancy McKeand at 10:41 AM
