Free Skype internet calls and cheap calls to phones online - Skype - 0 views

  •  
    This Skype site which includes information regarding Skype, tutorials, features, subscriptions and various other ways that Skype can be used for personal and business ventures. Users can interact and navigate through site to see how Skype could be advantageous to their own lives. I would consider this a technology-centered learning because it is simply explaining Skype itself and is not letting users interact. This video focuses on cognitive ability of learners.

    Using Illuminations, which is sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, exposes the students to simulations that will assist in the understanding of this difficult concepts.

    I recall the drill and skill activities of the first computers in my classroom. They were similar to the flashcards previously used with the added advantage of bouncy smiley faces entertaining the students' correct response. The sites shared above go far beyond such response strengthening multimedia. The Chinese proverb goes, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day. Teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." A proverb for multimedia learning might say tell me information I learn for a day, show me information I learn for a week, teach me to find and use information I learn for a lifetime. This course will model this metaphor for the teachers who will in turn model it for their students as they construct their own knowledge.

Participants in the workshop need to demonstrate that they know how to effectively use the clicker sin the classroom.

    Slide Rocket allows the user to create new PowerPoint style presentation or to import presentations from PowerPoint. These presentations can be shared and the site keeps track of how many users are viewing the presentation and how it is being shared. Because it allows the user to use existing presentations, it also eliminates the need for a single computer to be able to edit the presentation.

    Using SlideRocket gives users the advantage of importing simple presentations and creating animated slideshows. SlideRocket offers professional level tools unavailable thorough other presentation websites. By starting with simple concepts and linking them together between slides, workshop participants get a clear pre-training introduction to difficult production content.
