Skitch in the Classroom | Reading. Writing. Thinking. Sharing. - 3 views

    • msdianehahn
       
      I recently started exploring this app myself after finding it on the app store.  It is helpful to see someone else's use and get ideas! I think the most difficult part is going to be the part sharing students' work with the teacher.
  • For the “Introduction to Skitch” 2-day lesson, I gave the students a choice board of activities. The students had fun creating treasure maps, Skitch selfies, classroom maps.

      Such a good idea.  My students would be able to complete the labeling part of this activity, as they are ESL students just learning vocabulary.

    • buskokov
       
      This sentence describes why we need to use screencasts. I like this article because we can get more information about different ways how to use screencasting.
  • Screencasting is one of the most dynamic tools educators can use to transform their classroom in a dramatic fashion without investing a tremendous amount of time learning a new software piece or app.

    This is awesome- I really like how they give some samples too! Thanks for posting it.

The Case for a Four-Day Work Week | Inc.com - 0 views

  • in my opinion, focused collaboration
    • Alyssa Ruesch
       
      Are there any dangerous to the collaborative nature of this work-style? For example, do people fall prey to "group think"?
  • A recent study indicated the No. 1 reason for a person not to change jobs is based upon having a close friend at the same company

      You can't see this sticky note unless you are in the carlatech group. It's private. But you can see the highlighting.

The Dying Art of Cursive Handwriting | Academic Exchange - 0 views

  •  
    Another side of the cursive argument. I know it doesn't have much to do with language teaching, but it does go with technology. I survived 12 years of Catholic education and had some very bad experiences with my poor cursive writing and nuns.

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Ways Students Can Create Audio Slideshows - 1 views

    • Isis Shawver
       
      There are some great resources in this article that I plan to explore!
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      I will share these resources with my students for them to explore for their final presentation on work with Community.
  • Somewhere between a PowerPoint presentation and a full-fledged video is the audio slideshow.
  • To create an audio slideshow on Narrable start by uploading some pictures that you either want to talk about or have music played behind. After the pictures are uploaded you can record a narration for each picture through your computer's microphone or by calling into your Narrable's access phone number.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • UtellStory is a service for creating and sharing audio slideshows. To create and share your story through UtellStory you can upload pictures, add text captions, add audio narration to each slide, and upload a soundtrack to support your entire story.
  • a good tool for students to use to bridge the gap between slideshows and videos. Animoto makes it possible to quickly create a video using still images, music, and text. In the last year Animoto has added the option to include video clips in your videos too.
  • Hello Slide is a tool that you can use to add voice narration to slides that you display online.Hello Slide is different from services like Slideshare's Zipcast (which requires a paid subscription) because instead of recording your voice you type what you want the narrator to say.
  • Present.me is a handy service for recording video and or audio to accompany your slides.
  • Animoto's free service limits you to 30 second videos.
  •  
    I do audio slideshows as an end-of-semester project in my level 2 class, but I have only ever used PhotoStory. PhotoStory is loaded on our language lab computers so that students do not have to register or create any types of accounts. These resources seem to be just as easy, however

      Isis, I wanted to comment on this tool, stating I like the fact that is free and one does not need an account. Anyways, I wanted to add sticky note but I accidentally clicked on Vocaroo and the page popped up on my screen ready for me to provide my voice. Pretty cool!
  • Vocaroo is a free service that allows users to create audio recordings without the need to install any software. You don't even have to create an account to use Vocaroo. All you need to provide is a microphone. I used the microphone built into my MacBook to make the recording below. To create a recording just go to Vocaroo.com, click record, grant Voca

Second, Infuse Learning allows you create questions that your students draw responses to.
  • Using Google Forms you can create multiple choice, true/false, and free response questions quizzes. The latest version of Google Forms allows you to include pictures in your quizzes.
