    This website provides a list for how teachers can incorporate Google Docs in the classroom. Teachers will be excited about participating in this training because it can eliminate the fear of losing data, having multiple files of the same document, or the limitations of using one computer. Using this website will help teachers see the positive advantages for learning about Google Docs.

    Teacher vision has many activities at your fingertips that are ready to print out. I use the site to look for various graphic organizers to create handouts for students. It is effective because I do not have to reinvent the wheel and most of the graphic organizers work well with what I teach.

    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

    The purpose of this site is to create many different kinds of rubrics. A workshop participant can use a rubric to determine how much they learned during the workshop and self-assess if they have met the workshop's objectives. This site is exemplary because it leads the user step-by-step through the creation of a rubric. The site contains templates for all subject areas. Users can also search for and use rubrics that have already been created.

    RubiStar is a website that I have been using as a classroom teacher for year to create well designed and well worded rubrics. It is a simple free website that allows you to choose from a long list of pre-created categories. Final products can be downloaded and further enhance in a word processing program. The rubric created will be an example of essential learning because through the rubric the leaner will have better understanding of what is required of their digital story.
  • Laine Pagan on 18 Jul 10
     
    RubiStar is a resource which provides users to design and individualize rubrics for classroom use. This tool is very easy to use, where you have access to templates and publicly posted rubrics of others. Essential learning can take place through the learner being aware of course/project requirements and expectations. I have used this resource many times in both my classroom, with parents and for assignments and have enjoyed the available templates and examples.

    Rubistar is a free site that allows the user to either create their own rubric or view and adapt an existing rubric. The library of existing rubrics is lengthy and best searched by topic and date. I have utilized the site many times to create a rubric for PBL lessons and real life lessons taught within the curriculum. I prefer this site over others as it is easy to use and provides the option for a printed hard copy to be used during the project.

    Since the final product of the workshop will be to draw a portrait, this site allows teachers to create rubrics to evaluate the finished portraits.
  • Randy Rodgers on 17 Jan 11
     
    Rubistar is a well-known rubric creation site. The site is at the generative level, as users are required to create their own categories and criteria for assessing products. At the essential level, teachers can browse through thousands of rubrics created by other educators to see how they might appear and be applied. The site is useful because it is fairly intuitive to learn and because it leverages the shared products of its members.

    This is an excellent site to develop or take idea about how asses any project using or assigning criteria focused on what is actually measured.

    RubiStar is a tool that allows users to create rubrics online that can then be downloaded, printed, or shared online. The user can choose from a variety of products to create rubrics for in addition to choosing which categories will be scored and the descriptors for each category. This tool would be useful in the workshop for creating a rubric to show participants the expectations for their final product. As a teacher, I have used this tool many times to create rubrics for student assignments, so I can attest to its ease of use and the quality of rubrics it can be used to create.

    This free rubric creator allows educators to create rubrics aligned to the content that is being taught, for students to self assess their performance, and for students to assess the quality of instruction received. This site provides step by step directions through the creation of the rubric as well as the option for users to search and modify rubrics that have already been created.

    * This site aids in the creation of Rubrics which allows both grading and a guide for authentic learning activities. This site is better than many of the other tools and templates in that tool is easy to understand and easy to use. There are many templates to choose from allowing the teacher to make more informed choices for assessment.

    Online mindmap generator. Great for generative learning processes of making connections to prior knowledge. Explanation of choice: Recommended because it only requires you to type in an outline of text and in one-click transforms it to a free mindmap, which, unlike others, can be saved as a jpg.

    2. Graphic organizer, 8847_graphic_organizers tag in Diigo Text 2 Mind Map is a web application that converts a structured list of words or sentences, interprets them, and draws a versatile and user-friendly mind map.
  • Jon Lever on 18 Apr 11
     
    This site does the reverse of a tool in Inspiration. This site takes an outline and turns it into a mindmap, thereby allowing the user to have a graphic representation of ideas for any kind of project that is in outline form. Text 2 Mind Map is still in development, but from what I saw in the overall tool it does function well.

    Audacity allows for sounds, songs, and audio files to be recorded and edited. This tool will be useful for workshop participants to add their own voice to pictures and images in a presentation. Its features seemed easier to use than other similar audio editing applications.

    Brief description ...: This program allows the teacher to create a visual word cloud from a list of words or passages which helps to familiarize the learner with information that will be covered during the lesson or training session. As a generative process, the learners working memory is stimulated as it opens the senses for what is to come, during the presentation. Brief explanation ...: I like this site because it can be used to summarize documents like reports, speeches, and etc. into easily read word clouds. In addition, it makes important words bigger than other words.
  • Jessica Green on 08 Jul 12
     
    * Brief description of Web site: A free tool that allows users to create online word clouds from sentences, whole documents, web addresses, or tables. After completing, these word clouds can be printed out. * Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found: Besides the fact that this is a free resource, it is very user friendly because it allows users to design their own word clouds as they would like (i.e. choose their layout, choose their own colors, fonts, sizes, etc.).
  • Sara Sharick on 14 Jul 13
     
    Description: Allows users to create graphics style art with words. Words are randomly positioned where the more important words are made bigger. Explanation: This is a great tool for tool for users to create a cluster of words about a topic and use them the same way they might use a graphic. This was preferred to other programs because there is no registration required.

    This site lists numerous web links that reinforce why it is important today to use videos in the classroom. It has some links to best practices using teacher tube in the classroom. This site explains how to reach the learners cognitively. Mayer states that, "learner-centered approaches begin with an understanding of how the human mind works and ask, "How can we adapt multimedia to enhance human learning? (2009, p.13)" References Mayer, R. E. (2009). Multimedia learning (2nd ed.). Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press.
