Details on the 3 amazing new features in #Google #Slides! #edtech

This page by Kelly Fitzgerald, teacher, has a few good step by step presentations on different ways you can use Youtube - from uploading videos and creating playlists, to making slide presentations with music.

Great way to add audio to digital presentations without having to record the entire presentation at once. Recordings for each slide are saved one at a time.

Searchy Pants is a search engine for students.  In this post, there is also a slide show showing how to create your own search engine within a blog.

We have featured the amazing, free education blogging site, Kidblog, in a series of videos this month. Although each video is certainly helpful on its own, this Slidebook, a new Slide Rocket tool, makes teaching and learning Kidblog easy.

Brainstorming - Google Across the Curriculum This morning I'm facilitating a workshop at the MEA (Maine Education Association) Professional Issues Conference in Augusta, Maine. My workshop is designed to introduced participants to variety of Google services that they can use in their classrooms. Included in the workshop are five collaborative brainstorming sessions. Links to the collaborative document for the brainstorming sessions are interspersed in the slides you see below. Feel free to look through the brainstorming session documents and contribute your own thoughts. If you do add your ideas to the document, please make a note that you're a "global participant" in the brainstorming sessions.

Why I Like Prezi In my life, I have given a *lot* of presentations. In high school, they were presentations on group projects. In university, they were presentations on research projects. At Google, they're presentations on how to use our APIs. When I first started giving presentations, I used Powerpoint, like everyone else. But I kept thinking there must be a better way, and I experimented with other options - flash interfaces, interactive Javascript apps. Then I discovered Prezi, and it has become my presentation tool of choice. Prezi is an online tool for creating presentations - but it's not just a Powerpoint clone, like the Zoho or Google offering. When you first create a Prezi, you're greeted with a blank canvas and a small toolbox. You can write text, insert images, and draw arrows. You can draw frames (visible or hidden) around bits of content, and then you can define a path from one frame to the next frame. That path is your presentation. It's like being able to draw your thoughts on a whiteboard, and then instructing a camera where to go and what to zoom into. It's a simple idea, but I love it. Here's why: It forces me to "shape" my presentation. A slide deck is always linear in form, with no obvious structure of ideas inside of it. Each of my Prezis has a structure, and each structure is different. The structure is visual, but it supports a conceptual structure. One structure might be 3 main ideas, with rows of ideas for each one. Another might be 1 main idea, with a circular branching of subideas. Having a structure helps me to have more of a point to my presentations, and to realize the core ideas of them. It makes it easy to go from brainstorming stage to presentation stage, all in the same tool. I can write a bunch of thoughts, insert some images, and easily move them around, cluster them, re-order them, etc. I can figure out the structure of my presentation by looking at what I have laid out, and seeing how they fit together. Some people do this

Record, upload and share interactive video presentations.  Access a variety of visual aids such as PowerPoint slides, drawing board, whiteboard and your video.  Students can see you as well as your presentation.

A superb image editor where users simply drag and drop a photo into the site and slide the setting buttons until you get the result you want. Saving and sharing require signing into a free account. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Photos+%26+Images

Site for choosing pictures for a ppt slide

Great site for creating narrated slideshows. I'm going to use this for my next project. Free account and easy to embed into my website so everyone can watch the presentations. Direct narration onto slides through their site through USB mic, fabulous!

"Explain Everything is an easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard tool that lets you annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere. Create slides, draw in any color, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer. Rotate, move, scale, copy, paste, clone, and lock any object added to the stage."

Nice, short video tutorial on how to search for publicly shared Google Docs, Slides, Presentations, & lesson plans.
