"YouTube is loaded with tools and settings that teachers and students often overlook. The YouTube audio slideshow tool is one of those overlooked tools built into YouTube. I often demonstrate it in my workshops on video creation. In the video embedded below I provide a demonstration of how to use YouTube's audio slideshow creation tool."

This is a fantastic tip and tutorial from Richard Byrne for creating audio slideshows in YouTube. So excited to learn about this!

"Over the years I've shared a variety of tools for watching YouTube videos without all of the "related" videos and advertisements appearing on screen. Watchkin is the latest tool in this market that I have tried. Watchkin is a service that allows you to watch and project YouTube videos without seeing the related sidebar content typically seen on YouTube.com. "

Another great tool for teachers who want to show and share youtube videos without all of the "related" sidebar content. Doesn't work if youtube is blocked. Similar to safeshare.tv.

"How do digital portfolios help students learn? Where is the evidence that this assessment strategy actually supports improved teacher practice and increased student achievement? Why should teachers "do" digital student portfolios in the first place, since they are not required? How do performance and progress portfolios "mesh"?" Digital student portfolios can provide what other assessment tools cannot: Real, unabridged, minimally processed artifacts of learning that make sense to all the learners in the classroom, including the teacher. Technology used in this way can bring us as close as we can get to peering inside our students' hearts and minds to find out what they currently know and are able to do.

An excellent blog post by Matt Renwick, author of 'Digital Student Portfolios" with several examples using Evernote! Great followup to our ADE webinar on Evernote with Chris Giles.
