Storytelling | Xtranormal - 2 views

  •  
    I love this website.
  • ...8 more comments...
  •  
    Xtranormal is a website that allows individuals to make a movie just by texting. Xtranormal will be a used to present the objectives of the presentation. The animation will allow the learners to view a visual with audio/text (present two types of learning).
  •  
    Assignment, Module 3 - Xtranormal.com is a web-based presentation tool that allows the user to create a movie from text.  The site claims that, "if you can type, you can make movies."  Users are provided with 3D characters that are brought to life through adding content to their voices.  It uses a drag-and-drop animation system of editing.  Another advantage is you can follow this site from FaceBook or on Twitter.  One disadvantage is the recommended configuration is limited to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
  •  
    Xtranormal was one of the featured websites in the programs for Module 3. It is a very easy to use website to create videos. I used it to create the directions for the pre-training activity. In order to create a video you simply type in your script, select your character, background, camera angles, and character movements. This text to speech website is an example of generative learning because it simplifies the expectations for the participants.
  •  
    For the presentation section of the workshop, the instructor could use text and create an animation using avitars to make the lesson interesting to the learners.
  •  
    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: Allows you to create an animation presentation by inputting a script with directional movements. This can be used as an introduction tool of a segment presentation. It provides a visual animation with sound and text possibilities. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): It can be limiting using the free version, but awesome for foreign languages. My students loved it and could make their presentations unique and creative.
  •  
    Xtranormal is a movie-making tool that allows the user to create movies with little experience. It permits prerecorded features as well as user inventive frames. Using this tool in my presentations will move my students to a deeper understanding beyond PowerPoint presentations.
  •  
    Just as with Go Animate, Xtranormal is applicable to the essential and generative learning processes. Xtranormal allows a user to organize and integrate what he/she has learned into a short animated cartoon. Xtranormal allows users to create fully animated video cartoons to represent learned materials. Videos on Xtranormal are easily created, stored, and shared.
  •  
    This site allows you to create short animated videos about any content. These videos allow information to be relayed in a different way. This multimedia tool is user friendly and can be used with any topic. 
  •  
    This website allows you to choose an avatar and design a 3D animated presentation of the text provided. This will be a great added feature to add visuals to what I have to share for my presentation. In my classroom, this multimedia tool would inspire student creativity, meet student learning needs who may be uncomfortable speaking in front of others.
  •  
    You can use this site to make animated movies of your presentation.

MindMeister - 0 views

  •  
    This online mind mapping software allows mobile access. Mindmeister allows real-time brainstorming and offline mode. Offline work is synced to online maps when you go back online
  • ...7 more comments...
  •  
    “Assignment #3 Mindmeister's mind maps can be used in a collaborative environment where ideas can be shared. When two or more users collaborate on the same map in real-time, all changes are replicated in a color-coded format so that everyone can see updates instantaneously. Mindmeister comes with several pricing plans from the basic, free plan to a premium plan with enhanced security.
  •  
    This site also allows you to create mind maps. I like this site because it easily allows you to move ideas around by a simple click. It also allows you to easily add links to the mind map as well as images and attachments. Using this site makes it easy to share mind maps with others and collaborate.
  •  
    I've never used mindmeister, but I love the addition of the larger graphics. Larger graphics offers variety and improves users ability to visually differentiate items. Graphic organizers offer a unique way to introduce topics without overwhelming learners. Interesting graphics and text create visual interest for prelearning. I've only used Freemind for mindmap projects with school, and their graphics are small in relation.
  •  
    Mind Meister is an excellent cloud based tool that creates collaborative mind maps. This tool is excellent for team use because multiple people can create and edit the tool simultaneously. The team can also create project timelines with deadlines sent to their favorite calendaring tools.
  •  
    Explanation: Allows users to create a graphic organizer with a web-based tool requiring no download. Easy-to-use and results are good quality. Reasoning: Since this site is web-based, it makes using it very easy and accessible to anyone regardless of their operating system. In addition, creation of the graphic organizer is straightforward and requires little support. Also, the resulting graphic is embeddable.
  •  
    Mindmeister is one of the first, and still one of the best, online mind-mapping tools. Mindmaps can be used for generative learning as they invite the student to integrate information previously learned in a visual and connected way. Mindmeister is a good tool for this as it is available across iOS and Android. Additionally, it exports web maps into the .mm format which open natively in the free Freemind application for offline viewing and creation.
  •  
    MindMeister is a widely used mind-mapping program that is also linked to its mobile app, for access on the go. I chose this program based on the simplistic design and ease of use. Anyone can access MindMeister and immediately use the program for graphic organization.
  •  
    * MindMeister is an online mind mapping and brainstorming website used to create multiple kinds of graphic organizers. The template library provides many different kinds of examples that provide curriculum activities for essential or generative learning including prioritizing information, extending understanding of important concepts, project planning, drawing conclusions, making connections to other ideas, and making inferences.
    * I found MindMeister to be better than other online graphic organizer websites due to the ease of use, variety of templates available, and it is free to create up to three maps at a time.
  •  
    o Mindmeister is a mind mapping and online collaboration tool that allows learners to organize their thoughts by creating mind maps. A group of learners can collaborate on a single mind map to come up with a final product, and they can do so in real time. They can add text, graphics, links, notes, etc. to fully develop and present their ideas. In addition, learners can save final product in various formats to embed them in their projects. The interaction learners have with the content to organize it into a visual representation (as supported by Mindmeister) is the perfect example of generative processing or using cognitive processes to make sense of the material (Mayer, 2009). For English Language Learners, this tool allows learners to show what they understand even when they may not have enough English to write a paper on a particular concept/topic. o The site is easy to use and creates a clean and organized product. Some mapping programs can yield such complex products that are very hard to follow. In addition, I enjoy the ability to work offline because teachers and students alike might not always have internet handy. Finally, this is one of the few programs available not only for pc, but also for mobile and tablet.

ToonDoo - World's fastest way to create cartoons! - 3 views

  •  
    What it does: Allows teachers to create a simple cartoon strip. Why this one: It is free and easy to use. It provides templates from which to choose. I see a great benefit in that teachers can quickly create a dozen of these messages in the same time it would take to create just 1 video message. Therefore, time and practicality are key benefits. As mentioned above, I have tried to maintain the need for simplicity and efficient use of time. Creating multimedia presentations are but a small fraction of the enormous number of jobs a teacher must complete. Learning benefits: I see this more for generative learning. Role playing, "what if" scenarios, and thought-provoking situations can be presented by the teachers.

  •  
    ToonDoo is a website that allows students to create cartoons, books, characters, or doodles about any topic. It would be a great way for students to present information they have learned or demonstrate comprehension in a non-traditional way. 
  •  
    This is a tool which can be used for digital storytelling.  It is technology centered although its use is learner centered.  I incorporated the use of this tool with students from another school to retell parables with a 21st century twist in the middle school curriculum of the private Christian school at which I taught.
  •  
    This is a free site that allow you to create cartoons using the available images, images you create, or your own photos. Just drag and drop!

Presentation Website 2 - 2 views

    Showbeyond http://www.showbeyond.com Showbeyond is a resource that I came across while I was teaching my journalism students how to create a photo essay. Even though I just randomly stumbled across this resource it has proven to be a wonderfully simple to use slide cast program. Slide casts are an online multimedia format that combines and synchronizes slideshows with podcasts. I have found this format perfect for online story telling as well as online presentations. I think Showbeyond is a resource more fit for middle and high school students and educators. Showbeyond allows students and educators to design and create multimedia presentations easily and quickly. Showbeyond is a resource that lets you select and manipulate photos and text to create a visual presentation which you can add podcasts, music, and videos to. I chose Showbeyond because I don't think you can find a more accessible multimedia to create simple presentations on. I say simple because Showbeyond is not capable of some the more advanced features such as animation and timed slides like PowerPoint and MovieMaker are capable of. However, I do use Showbeyond in my classroom often and my students really enjoy the products that they can create.

Using Animated Videos for Instruction - 1 views

  •  
    A website where you can create your own animated videos. This is the main presentation and focus of my workshop. It has tutorials and step by step instructions on how to create an animated video of your choice.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Use our Video Maker to create animated videos for free and create an animated lesson for your class. Make a demo video of a new technology tool and video for your training for your staff. Students can write and record dialogue, move the characters, direct the camera, add music and sound effects - all with drag & drop tools! This presentation tool provides a private, secure environment for student users and school groups. Students can only access and view school-safe and age appropriate content.
  •  
    Go Animate is a web application that allows users to make video representations of learning material or to showcase what has been learned. This application allows the user to create fully animated video cartoons complete with text to audio features. The application can be used for both essential and generative learning. It is particularly useful in the generative process as it allows the user to integrate learned materials in a creative manner.
  •  
    GoAnimate! allows teachers to quickly create animated lessons. The site offers a variety of options for setting, images, and avatars. Users can use the text-to-speech feature or record their own voices to narrate the videos. These videos can be used to quickly create engaging videos to present content to learners. GoAnimate! can be used to help learners manage essential processing by using the principles of multimedia to create an effective presentation. It is better than other sites because it is so user friendly, and animations can be created quickly.
  •  
    This website lets you create an animated video for use in your classroom. View the video on their introduction page to learn about the features and options. A teacher could also let students have the option of animating a presentation for the class to help engage student creativity.

Prezi - The Zooming Presentation Editor - 0 views

  •  
    Prezi is an interactive and free presentation tool. You can create slide shows online and present them that way, or download them and show them as a power point type show.
  • ...4 more comments...
  •  
    Prezi is an online tool used to create presentations; it can also be downloaded to create presentations offline that can be uploaded later. It's a blank canvas that you craft with images, text, and videos.
  •  
    Prezi is a site that allows you to create presentations online. It has an option for you to do this without purchasing a subscription. It allows you to turn these presentations into video format. You can also view existing presentations made by others.
  •  
    Prezi is a very interesting presentation application that allows the developer to present in a nonlinear fashion. This would be a very useful tool for teaching some concepts that require the application of feedback loops or to show the big picture of a given concept. I chose this presentation application to present because of the different application and also the ease of video introduction. Video is very difficult to use in PowerPoint and since Prezi allows for easy youtube introduction then I thought this would be the great application for multimedia development. http://prezi.com/index/ There is a very good basic tutorial that shows how to get started with prezi at the following site. http://prezi.com/learn/getting-started/
  •  
    My media specialist introduced my students and me to Prezi a couple of months ago. This is a great way to present your ideas over the standard Power Point presentation. Prezi allows you to tell your story or share ideas by creating the presentation on a large canvas. You then link one idea to the next including: text, images, and videos. This allows your audience to see the big picture and the individual details.
  •  
    Prezi is a web based power point presentation with a twist. It is easy to use and FREE. I would encourage my workshoppers to use this tool to have students create the steps of learning a dance. This would be a great way to present the knowledge that they have acquired by using the Wii Just Dance program. I might also suggest that they use it to have students create and teach their own warm-ups.
  •  
    * This website allows the instructor to create educational presentations. * This website offers more options than PowerPoint.

How to create effective multimedia presentation using power point - 2 views

  •  
    How to create effective multimedia presentation using power point? There are three ways how you can insert video into a powerpoint presentation. To present one's ideas across clearly, most of us us Microsoft Office Power Point. MS Powerpoint is a great application to create and do stylish and informative presentations. These days, people are using power point to include video clips and audio clips to create a multimedia presentation. Here are some tips on how to use video clips and create a power point presentation. I found this site to be better than the other websites because it talked about also insert videos into a presentation. This I believe would enhance the presentation and keep the participants from getting bored. I think the videos would create a better presentation. http://www.allpctips.com/.../how-to-create-effective-multimedia-presentation-using-power-point/ - Cached

Glogster (EDU version) - 4 views

  •  
    The classroom is a dynamic environment with a huge variety of opportunities for showcasing what has been learned in professional development. Sure, writing a lesson plan or a reflection may indicate how well the participant has benefited from PD course material, but to gain an authentic look into what the students are now capable of doing as a result of the teacher's professional development a web 2.0 tool may be more appropriate. An authentic assessment option is the glog. The glog is a way for educators to share what the students have learned and how the objectives from a PD course have been integrated into daily instruction. Plus, students love the multimedia interface and easy to use tools.

    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: You create an online posted with interactive features...sound, text, video, flash animations. This is a great product tool for assessment because it hosts all types of input as previously mentioned. You can also provide links to outside sites. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): Free version to educators and easy to share products by sending links. Demonstrates creativity and allows the user to incorporate multiple items (i.e. text, pictures, videos, links, sounds).
  •  
    Site lets users create online, multimedia "posters" about a desired topic. This site could function for pre-learning at either the essential or generative level, depending upon the content added to the presentation. At the essential level, users could post samples and important terms. At the generative, prompts or questions could be included to promote application of knowledge. The site is reasonably easy to learn and free, and users can include images, text, graphics, audio, or video elements, making for a complete multimedia presentation. 
  •  
    *Create interactive online posters *Glogster is where creativity and technology meet. It gives students opportunities to creatively present material.
  •  
    Glogster is an alternative to the typical two-dimensional posters and PowerPoints that have been the staple of research projects for years. "Glogs" are posters that students can create online to demonstrate their learning about a variety of topics using many different types of media to present their information. This tool definitely allows for active cognitive learning as students are able to choose not only the content to add to their Glog, but also the forms of media to be used on that Glog. The student can choose to use video, sound, pictures, and many other media forms to present content, but they have to remember not to overcrowd their Glog with too much information or too much media. 
  •  
    This online tool lets you create a poster with embedded video, audio, images and text. I have yet to explore this web tool, so I am choosing it to force myself to experience a powerful and engaging learning tool for my presentation.
  •  
    Teachers, improve the future with a new way of teaching! Glogster EDU is a collaborative online learning platform for teachers and students to express their creativity, knowledge, ideas and skills in the classroom. This is an education-safe online environment where teachers can add classes to assign projects using Glogster. Students can use this multimedia tool to explore presentations previously made on a variety of subjects and topics, as well as creating their own glogs.
  •  
    Glogster allows learners to create an interactive poster, in which they post images, text, music and videos. They can also include links to other websites, including other glogs, to make their project more comprehensive. When used to create a project, this is a deeply learner-centered technology, as it requires a great deal of both behavioral and cognitive activity. Viewing it as part of the workshop will require both kinds of activity as well.

Glogster: make a poster online. It's free! - 7 views

  •  
    Glogster EDU www.glogster.com The first authentic assessment activity website that I chose is called Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU is a website like no other resource I have ever seen. Glogster EDU is a creative, dynamic and innovative digital outlet for online creations that keeps learners in engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun (Glogster EDU, 2009). Glogster EDU is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner's knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learner's desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested (Glogster EDU, 2009). The reason I chose Glogster EDU as one of my authentic assessment activities is because I have used it in my classroom and it works great. Glogster EDU is a powerful resource to use with students of the middle and high school levels because its possibilities are controlled by the students knowledge and creativity. Educators can set up assessments easily and quickly using the resources provided by the site host. Glogster EDU can be used for any type of assessment where students need to illustrate their understanding of course content. Glogster EDU also provides its own video site called Schooltube where students can research, watch, and add video to their personal glog adding the much needed audiovisual aspect to projects that normally would have been text based. I also really like the fact that Glogster EDU is a private site monitored by teachers; it gives me a sense of assurance that my students won't be accessing information that could get them or me in trouble.

    This website has a gallery of multimedia posters that have been published and created based on various content area. Items include a focus on literature, mathematics, science, biographies and more.
  •  
    Glogster allows the user to create a multimedia poster. The user can incorporate video, text, and images. Of course the use of Glogster as an assessment tool is based solely on how the assessment is designed. If the user creates an assessment that is authentic and incorporates Glogster, then the use of Glogster will be an authentic assessment.

    Use glogster to create digital posters with audio, video, graphics and text.

    Glogster allows users to create digital posters that incorporate video, text, pictures, and sound.
  •  
    Glogster (www.glogster.com) allows teachers and students to create interactive projects. Teachers can design interactive glogs for their students to complete or assign the students to create their own glog for a class project. Either way this allows for the teacher to really control the learning. Mayer (2009) would consider Glogster knowledge construction because students will have to view the videos, read the articles, and examine the pictures that the teacher embeds in their glog to form an opinion or to create their own glog. When a student creates their own glog no two will be exactly the same.

Gliffy for Graphic Organizers - 0 views

    Online graphic organizer creation tool. Great for generative learning processes helping students make connections to prior learning. Explanation of choice: Recommended because it is online, free, and unlike other tools, no signup is required.
  • ...2 more comments...

    This site allows you to create diagrams and graphic organizers online. It is great for essential learning to help participants with understanding of key concepts. It is easy to use the only drawback, is that it requires a fee.
  •  
    Gliffy provides the typical "flowchart" type graphic. Sometimes, these are the best manners of organizing information prior to learning, since it clearly identifies the "big" ideas, as well as supporting details. It is better than many graphic organizers since it also enables the user to create Venn Diagrams, SWOT analysis, or floor plans. This free version is available for only a limited number of uses.
  •  
    Gliffy provides users with an online interface for creating flowcharts, diagrams, and other graphic organizers. This site allows users to either choose from predesigned templates or to build graphic organizers from scratch. The diagrams can be easily saved as .jpeg files or published to the Internet. This online interface makes is possible for users to visually depict essential material and then develop the necessary connections for generative processing. This website is better than other sites that offer access to graphic organizers because users have the choice between preformatted templates and creating their own diagrams. In addition, users are responsible for inputting the relevant information related to their project. In addition, this website allows users to create their diagrams on the computer rather than simply printing off templates and completing them by hand.
  •  
    Gliffy allows users to create custom graphic organizers. Starting with a basic design, users can edit the graphic organizer to fit their needs, based on the content. Customization includes additional boxes, connections, or color. A teacher could also begin to fill in the graphic organizer with major topics or key terms. With a pro account, users can add collaborators or publish the graphic organizer to the web. Gliffy can contribute to essential and generative processing by allowing learners to manage and organize the information being presented to them. It is better than other similar sites because it allows the user to customize the graphic organizer to the needs created by the content.
