    Want to learn how to use Socrative?  Here is a 3 minute video.  
  •  
    I have used Socrative and my First Graders were very good using it. So, no excuses for older ones. I like the fact that we can add pictures and share the SOCs with other teachers.
  •  
    Thanks Amy for these videos on Animato and Socrative. It is so much easier to try a new tool when you have a step by step explanation.

Socrative | EdSurge - 0 views

  •  
    One of the applications I tried out was Socrative.  It can best be described as online clickers.  Here is an article that describes it more in detail.  Since I teach at college and EVERYONE has cellphones, it is very easy (and fun) for students to use.  And teachers get immediate feedback!

Make screencasts interactive with eduCanon | Douchy's Blog - 2 views

  • Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.
    • klmcguinness
       
      This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.
    • srafuller
       
      That's good to know. My students have a mixed bag of devices, and several have Ipads.
  • The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.
    • klmcguinness
       
      Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!
  • You paste in the URL of the video, then watch it play
    • klmcguinness
       
      According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

  • The answers people choose in a public video are not collected by eduCanon.
    • klmcguinness
       
      Good to know to allay students' fears. Will they even think that their answers would be made public-probably not most MS students.
  • You can assign a video to the class, and then eduCanon collects data for you on your class’ completion of the task and their responses to your questions.
  • all of those features are 100% free

Tips for Teachers Who Wish to Use YouTube in Classroom - EdTechReview™ (ETR) - 1 views

  • YouTube is the greatest video hub.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      This is the major reason for me to want to share videos on YouTube instead of other video sharing sites.
  • Never Set Students Free to Access it without Proper Guidance:
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Very important!!
  • While copying the embed code, make sure you’ve unmarked “Show suggested videos when the video finishes”. This helps you expose your students to YouTube videos in a safe and secured manner.
    • Diane Nordin
       
      Good tip on sharing the video link.

    It's getting close to that time of year when teachers and students will be returning to school for the fall semester. The great thing about the start of a new school year is that it brings new resolutions for both teachers and students.

Thinkquest - (Facebook for elementary??) « The Techie Classroom - 4 views

    • Erika Sass
       
      Has anyone used Thinkquest? It looks like a great way to introduce elementary students to social networking in a safe way. I also posted a great site that does online safety and cyberbulling in 15 minutes lessons with Garfield cartoons for kids.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, I have used it primarily with middle school students and I have found it quite useful. The last time I used it was several years ago to set up a list of websites to use with a webquest, a very simple and easy thing to do.
  •  
    "Facebook" option for elementary?
  •  
    This looks pretty promising. I also think the connections you made on this site are great - asking for resources and someone commented back with great resources on kids safety on the internet. Awesome!!
  •  
    I also liked the description. I will make an account to explore it and see if it is something we can use with older students as well.

Educational Leadership:Meeting Students Where They Are:Why Teachers Should Try Twitter - 5 views

      Good article for convincing non-tweeters that it is a good tool. For Carla Tech 11, we already know this information.
    • anonymous
       
      Well, we are all trying it... that's a start.
  • eaching professionals have found ways to use Twitter to share resources and lend quick support to peers with similar interests

  • network of people
  • I now turn to Twitter friends for help in the same way that I turn to the teachers on my hallway. Recently, a friend in my Twitter feed pointed me to a great strategy for structuring classroom discussions, a practice I'd been struggling with (http://angelacunningham.wordpress.com/2009/05/teaching-students-to-dialogue.html).
    • senora heebsh
       
      Yes!
    • Lorraine Effler
       
      I can see this being a great use of Twitter.
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      this would work!
  • he primary reason for my inability to embrace differentiation as a teacher was that, until recently, I'd never experienced differentiation as a learner. Like most practitioners, I've spent too much professional development time sitting in lectures delivered to entire faculties. No one offered preassessments, tiered lessons, or learning contracts to my colleagues or me.
    • senora heebsh
       
      How true is that...Back to school fall workshops anyone?
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      I don't think I'm ready for fall workshops quite yet! :)

Pleased to Tweet You: Making a case for Twitter in the classroom - 2 views

    • senora heebsh
       
      Good example of how an educator used twitter to chat with an author. Also detailed her proposal to admin to override the twitter block. Great if your school blocks twitter.
    • Kim Fynboh
       
      Great article! I like the sample proposal that they give.
    • Martha Borden
       
      I wonder how she did this? I think this would be of high interest for my world geography teachers. Would certainly add a new dimension to reporting out on current events in different parts of the world.
  • Teachers and librarians are finding Twitter’s great for research, too. Karen Burns, a librarian at Gig Harbor High School in Washington state, created a Twitter search widget for current events in Africa to help ninth graders with their research projects.
