Bubbl.us - 3 views

  •  
    This is an excellent collaborative brainstorming tool for creating a mind map. This could be excellent for PreTraining or for a graphic organizer. Imagine your class having this open while you present key information, and they create their mind map of your concepts.

    Bubbl.us http://www.bubbl.us/ Bubbl.us is a free application that allows users to brainstorm and think online using colorful mind maps. While this application is a bit different from Webspiration the concept is the same. If you are looking for a very simple and easier to use program for younger students this might just be your answer! With just a hit on the enter key you can quickly and easily design and create spider mind maps. I believe that Bubbl.us is a website that can absolutely help learners think with more organization and it illustrates how connections can be made between information. Compared to Webspiration Bubbl.us seems a bit elementary to my likings for my high school students, but for someone who is working with the elementary crowd this would be perfect because there are not as many bells and whistles to this program. Even though students are still able to modify colors and change the location of the bubbles.

    Online bubble maps that can be used in the planning process for presentations. This tool is user-friendly and will allow teachers to share access with each other throughout the workshop. The sharing feature of this tool will also promote the needed collaboration among the group.
  •  
    An online mind mapping application which is very user friendly. Throughout the presentation process, this tool will provide opportunities for the instructor and participants to design webs related to covered material. For instance, in my workshop, webs can be used to illustrate various teaching and learning strategies for each special education category visually. This application is somewhat different to navigate than Webspiration, which I have frequently used in the past as well as Inspiration in the classroom. It took a few moments of trial and error to determine where certain element tabs and buttons were, but it also presents graphics which have a more professional appearance.
  •  
    This is a free site that allows for brainstorming and creating graphic organizers. It automatically arranges bubbles as you type and allows you to manually arrange them. Bubbl can create colorful mind maps online, share and work with friends and embed mind maps in your blog or website.
  •  
    This site allows you create mind maps. It easily allows you to branch out your ideas. I like this site because it is easy to use, you simply click an existing bubble and it creates a new branch. It is also very easy to change the font and the color of the bubbles.
  •  
    Mind map creator. Easy to use, free, and has a variety of presentation options.
  •  
    Bubbl us is a graphic organizer used to organize ideas. As I viewed the site, I thought I could offer this to my students who might be intimidated by the use of graphic organizers on the web. Using this site might reduce the extraneous process because the goal is to organize thoughts not learn a new tool.
  •  
    The is online mind mapping software whre participants can create a graphic organizer online. Graphic organizers can be shared with friends or saved as a jpeg.

    Flikr is a wonderful tool for uploading pictures and creating slide shows with commentary. It is a free site that is easy to use and embed on the web.
  •  
    This site allows you to take video clips and share them just like you would images. I like this site because it is easy to access especially if you already have a yahoo account. You can upload your videos and add tags to share with the world.

Using Avatars - 1 views

  •  
    Voki is a online site that allows the learner to create their own speaking avatar. Once the avatar is created, there is an opportunity to demonstrate generative learning by creating speech for the avatar. The speech can be recorded by one's own voice or done through a text to speech tool. In my project, this will be a way for workshop participants to use generative learning to apply their learning to creating their own project. They will post an avatar on their wiki to entice learners to use it, giving purpose and features that will make the wiki useful to the participant. I chose this site for many reasons. Although it is very simple to use, it requires a high level of creativity that is engaging for learners. The product is high quality and is able to be shared via email and different online environments.

    Vokis are customizable avatars for use in the classroom. A lesson does not have to consist of a large amount of time, which makes Vokis valuable for sharing mini-lessons or instructions with students. The teacher's voice (or student's) may be recorded and combined with text-based instructions be used to teach a list of vocabulary words, give instructions, or even as individualized greeting for students when they login to their computer. Vokis can be stored on a wiki to reduce the burden on a school's server and are safe to share (as long as the students does not share any specific information about themselves) because they do not show the child's face. Vokis are fun for students and encourage their oral language development in a non-threatening way.
  •  
    Voki is one way to add voice to a presentation. You can use the text-to-speech feature to explain a presentation or record your own voice. Voki can also be embedded in a blog or website. Each Voki is engaging to the learner. Easy to use.
  •  
    Allows the user to create an animated avatar to be used as a presenter of material. Inputted text is converted to speech (available in multiple languages). Voki is recognized as one of the best programs of its kind for the qulity of the imagery and the flexibility of the user input.
  •  
    Voki allows you to make speaking avatars to use as an effective learning tool to motivate students to participate, improve comprehension, introduce technology in a fun way, and even as an effective language tool. Voki Classroom allows educators to organize how their students interact with Voki. Teachers and administrators can create class accounts, manage student work without student registration, and provides unlimited support for free or offers more at a low cost. The website provides lesson plans, brain training games, and tutorials.
  •  
    Voki is a great multimedia website that will allow students to create talking avatars depicting themselves or historical figures.  I will use this site in my presentation wiki on infusing mulitmedia in a history class.
  •  
    This website allows users to design an avatar. A video demonstrating the use of avatars for editing rough drafts show a potential use of this Web 2.0 tool for the K-12 classroom. This video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/embed/ao9KQltMkP0

Pro Profs Flashcard Maker - 0 views

  •  
    I am using Pro Profs Flashcard Maker to introduce the concept and terminology of wikis during the pre-training section of my workshop. This will allow learners to process the essential information that will be needed in order to achieve the instructional goal. I like this activity for pre-training because it is "frontloading" the learning event with essential information. These flashcards are created online and can be embed them into my wiki. Its simplicity and multifunctional use make in an attractive tool for any teacher.

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.

    This is a free site that lets you import images to create a slide show or a quiz along with an mp3 file to embed in your web page, wiki or blog. I tried this at a professional development development conference and found it to be extremely user friendly and a cinch to put together. I like how I can create a quiz with images and text on a screen to ask a question or make a comment.

Beautiful web-based timeline software - 2 views

  •  
    What it is: Tiki-Toki provides a free timeline creator that allows users to create original and creative timelines on any subject matter. Why it's better: Tiki-Toki is a web-based software that requires no prior downloading. With a premium subscription, users may collaborate on a single timeline. In addition, the software allows users to insert images, sounds, and/or videos into their timelines. Users can create multiple categories using different color schemes all within the same timeline. Timelines may also be embedded into individual websites for easy access.
  •  
    o Tiki-toki is a website where learners can create interactive timelines. Learners set timing, diving time into periods, and add events. Furthermore, they can embed graphics, videos, links, and information on each timeline item. Generative learning, or as Mayer (2009) described it, is cognitive processing to make sense of the material. This processing is supported by the site as learners can peruse through a time period to identify and demonstrate their understanding of major events. For English Language Learners, this tool allows learners to show what they understand even when they may not have all the language necessary to write an entire essay on a particular time period. o The site is relatively easy to use, but most importantly creates a superb final product. The timelines can be viewed in various ways including even a 3D view which can make history come alive for students.
