    A tool for creating videos ~ collaboratively online. This is a very simple and easy to use online platform for video production. It integrates with other Google Apps for Education offerings. Easy to share and build together. It has a full feature video editor, music, and effects. Everything is stored online and all file formats are supported with instant posting and mobile accessibility. A great synchronous and asynchronous tool for multi-media learning. The active engagement required focuses on a cognitive activity. It accomplishes learner-centered learning through knowledge construction (Mayer, 2009, p. 18). Mayer, R. E. (2009). Multimedia learning (2nd ed.). Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press.

    This site allows instructors to create a variety of graphic organizers to fit their instructional goals.  The task seems simple, but the variety may become overwhelming.  However, a graphic organizer allows learners to organize more than just information on a sheet.  It allows them to organize information in their mind.

    Brief Description: Teacher Tube is an educational website where educators can upload instructional material to the cyber-world. People can gain ideas, upload their videos for others, or receive teaching resources. Brief Explanation: Teacher Tube is a great website because it allows you to share information effectively and can be useful for others to review and receive your personal ideas and research.

    What it does: This has a wealth of resources to learn "how to" do a number of tasks. Why this one? In providing pre-training for certain tasks, why re-invent the wheel? Why create a new "how to use xyz" when that video probably already exists on Teachertube. Youtube is also an option, but I prefer Teachertube since it is more teacher/education oriented. Consequently, the content, flow, and logic may be more educationally sound than the general public who posts on YouTube. Learning benefit: For essential learning, learners have a large database of short training sessions and can learn many essential basics for pre-training needs.
  • Cathy Marziali on 17 Oct 10
     
    Teacher Tube is a online sharing site that hosts video, photographs, documents and audio files that cater to an educational environment. The format is much like You Tube. Files can be easily shared/embedded on a variety of sites. Once you investigate these resources for the content and quality that you are searching, they prove to be a great way to promote essential learning. I chose this site because, like You Tube, there are some high quality videos available. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the busy educator has ready-made resources at his/her fingertips. You Tube is blocked in my school organization so Teacher Tube is a comparable resources and it is controlled for inappropriate language and controlled for inappropriate language and content.
  • Kat Crawford on 16 Apr 11
     
    This site is a great resource for teachers and students alike. It is a safe and reliable site that provides educational videos that are appropriate for students of all ages. The site is a safe alternative to Youtube but it is not as well known among the student population. I would recommend this site to teachers in my workshop to upload videos of completed dance projects. It is also a great place for students to make comments.
  • Jessica Green on 08 Jul 12
     
    * Brief description of Web site: A free tool that provides an online community for sharing instructional videos. Additionally, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill. * Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found: This site is better than YouTube because it is strictly for educational purposes. Besides the fact that it is a free resources, users are able to view videos or upload videos to it.
  • Jennifer Piner on 12 Jan 14
     
    TeacherTube is a video sharing website with the same features as YouTube, but for educators. Unfortunately, in many school districts by content filtering systems, YouTube has been blocked due to some of the content that can be accessed on the site. TeacherTube allows educators and students the ability to access various educational videos, documents, blogs, groups, photos, and audio to utilize and share in the classroom while at school. Many of these educational resources can be used as pre-training materials to a workshop, such as with my workshop on storytelling; I would show a short video about what PBL means as a means to introduce participants to the concept and to explain that they will be using PBL to design their own storytelling lesson. TeacherTube is much easier to access while at school than YouTube, which is why I feel TeacherTube is a better working tool for educators to use rather than attempting to access YouTube videos.

    Prezi is an online presentation software tool that allows you to create wonderful presentations that will capture your audience's attention. It can be used in the classroom as a teaching tool or with the students. I think this site was good because Prezi gives you basic setup options and lessons to assist you in creating your presentation and learning how to use it.

    Presentation development site that allows the user to create a unique and visually stimulating production. Relatively easy to navigate with much better graphics than most free sites.
  • Jon Lever on 18 Apr 11
     
    Prezi is a combination of a graphic organizer and a presentation tool. It allows the user to incorporate video, pictures and text into the presentation. The program allows the user to create a presentation that is semi-linear in fashion. Prezi is free and allows the user to store the presentation on their servers, thereby eliminating the need for the user to have access to the same computer.
  • Thomas Jacobs on 17 Oct 11
     
    * Prezi provides an innovative method of creating presentations based on building concepts rather than based on slides. This site is extremely good for showing connections between concepts and stories. It is embeddable and well suited for use in web based presentations. Slide based presentation tools like Slideshare and Google Presentation are merely adaptations of mid 20th century slide projectors.
  • Kevin Steele on 16 Jan 12
     
    Prezi allows a presenter to make an online presentation similar to the standard PowerPoint, but with much more interest and relationship. The movement of the presentation is within words and photos using a zoom in or fly-over effect. Effective presentations can be created to show relationship. Additionally, using the tool with students does not require that they have the software at home to work outside of class (just a side note).

    Prezi is like a PowerPoint but is more interesting. Video and other links can be embedded.

    Youtube is a site that gives the user the opportunities to post videos about almost anything online. It is a video sharing website where users can upload and share videos. I chose this as a resource because it has a large resource of information that can be used for teaching purposes. Youtube makes posting and searching for videos simply because it is very easy to use.

    Through YouTube you can share with your participants examples of work they they will be creating. YouTube is one of the better choices for watching movies since it has the largest collection of videos online. There are many other video websites available on the Internet, but YouTube is the most popular. Showing videos from YouTube is an example of essential learning since you are showing the participants what is essential to a good digital story.
  • Tabitha Edenfield on 18 Jan 11
     
    You Tube- This website allows a presenter to create a video or power point and upload it to the Internet for anyone to view. Most videos are simple to upload though uploading power points are a bit more tricky. This video sharing site allows the presentor to share information that is necessary for the course participants to know before the course begins. I like this as a pretraining site because it is easy to access in most locations. However most K-12 educational facilities block this site due to some inappropraite submissions. Course participants must make sure that they are able to access You Tube prior to the beginning of the course.
  • Charlotte Haughwout on 08 Feb 11
     
    YouTube is a wonderful tool to use in creating presentations. It is also very helpful in finding other presentations, demonstrations, and tutorials. I think teachers would benefit from the many demonstrations and examples of Student Response Systems being used during my workshop. YouTube is very easy to navigate and easy to upload ones own videos.
  • Kat Crawford on 16 Apr 11
     
    This site is a great tool for uploading and sharing videos. Youtube is industry standard for video sharing. It is reliable, offers multiple formats uploads and offers privacy. I would recommend that teachers use this site to upload final dance video projects or use Just Dance videos on the site to have student analyze other dancers. I would not recommend comments unless the user approved them first.
  • Tabitha Wright on 16 Jan 12
     
    Youtube allows trainers to post pre-training video clips to introduce learners to ideas and information that they need to know before the actual training occurs. The site gives the trainer a location to post videos then allows the trainees to view the information at their own pace.
  • Kevin Steele on 16 Jan 12
     
    YouTube is a great pre-training tool for learners to do a little research about their upcoming topic. However, it may be best to send out the links to learners in advance so they are not overloaded or misinformed. This site has proven to be a great place for the discerning learner to find valuable "how-to" advice and instructions. I fixed my automatic sliding door on the family minivan for free the other day!
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    YouTube is a multimedia website that houses videos. Videos on this site can be viewed and shared through emailing links or embedding videos into blogs, wikis, or websites. It is extremely easy to navigate and search for videos on any content. Home made videos can also be easily uploaded and shared in minutes. 
  • Timothy Weaver on 16 Jul 12
     
    YouTube is the choice again, but this time for assessment purposes. YouTube is the most popular of the hosting sites and is the one student's are currently most familiar with. After a video has been developed, edited, and stored in a computer, YouTube offers a place to store your video online. Along with this, it automatically delivers an embedding code for the creators to embed into a movie widget of the presentation venue chosen for disclosure which is essential for evaluation. Furthermore, video in these online presentation venues work for generative learning by allowing for comments and more multimedia by connecting to other relevant knowledge.
  • Timothy Weaver on 16 Jul 12
     
    YouTube and TeacherTube both house produced videos ready for embedding into various multimedia venues. They have search options for locating promotion and how-to videos that can certainly be used for essential and generative learning. The primary difference is that TeacherTube is meant for educational professionals. Capabilities are to spark initial interest with promotional video(s) and to complete necessary account logistics for pre-training to practical use. A free account can be set-up by anyone.

    This website can be used to show examples of what the expectations are in the presentation.
  • Sarita Ivey on 13 Oct 13
     
    What it is: YouTube provides millions of free videos on every topic imaginable. However, in addition to finding videos, YouTubes new video editor allows users to create their own videos as well. Why it's better: YouTube provides a user-friendly interface that most are familiar with. Videos, images, sounds, text, and photos can all be combined to create instant videos that provide prior knowledge to students. All videos under 15 minutes are free. Since YouTube is a part of Google, all items are synced with your Google account. While there are many other free video creation tools available, YouTube truly does provide an easier experience.
  • Marie Anglin on 13 Jan 14
     
    YouTube offers users the opportunity to compile their work in the form of a video. One feature of YouTube is the capability of adding closed caption. Videos can be used for essential and generative learning because it provides a platform for learners to authentically demonstrate their understanding of the content.

    This also is a site which I have been familiar with, more recently when I received my interactive whiteboard. This site appears to be much more technology centered, where it is designed to be used with the interactive boards and student response systems. BrainPop.com is also partner with the Promethean Company, where many of its features are accessible using their products. As you navigate through the subject areas, each lesson begins with a short video and provides additional resources such as games, printable handouts and a short quiz. There also are sites for K-3 and ESL learners. The technology used to present this site to students (interactive whiteboards, student response systems) was developed prior to this site, although it is possible to integrate this in others ways to students (centers, whole group using a projector) but it is clear this site was directly designed and developed with the technology in mind first.

    Scholastic BookFlix is a new interactive online literacy resource for Grades PreK-3 that pairs fictional video storybooks from Weston Woods with classic nonfiction eBooks from Scholastic. While reading and stories have been around for centuries, the availability of having videos and books read aloud through the computer is a more modern creation. Book Flix is a subscription based site through Scholastic, featuring many popular children's literature in a variety of subjects. Each subject provides the student with a video based on a book, and another which is read aloud page by page. This site fits into the category of technology centered, where Mayer (2009) acknowledged technology often drives the method of instruction. Students in my classroom enjoyed being able to view and hear their favorite books providing the auditory and visual learners more opportunity to enjoy the story.

    Assignment, Module 3 - Mindomo.com is a web-based, graphic organizer tool that allows users to manage, plan, track, and prioritize tasks.  Although there is a minimal charge for the premium package and group rates, the basic service is free.  The site allows you to embed videos and photos and add links.  Some advantages of this site are:  users can install Mindomo on your desktop to work offline, and Mindomo recognizes and imports mind map formats from other services.

    Mindomo is a mind mapping tool that not only allows users to create a map for a concept, but also allows for collaboration and the addition of multimedia elements. This tool can be used at the end of a workshop to allow participants to share their knowledge with each other or with those who did not attend the workshop through the creation of a mind map. I have not used this particular tool, but it looks to be fairly easy to use. The fact that it allows for the addition of multimedia elements to the mind map makes it even more appealing.
  • Jody Ranous on 15 Jul 12
     
    Mindomo (http://www.mindomo.com) is an incredible graphic organization site. This site allows the user to create interactive graphic organizers. They can choose the layout they want, import pictures, and add video or audio clips, hyperlinks and much more to the graphic organizer. This allows the user to create dynamic interactive graphic organizers that demonstrate whatever they are trying to get the learner to learn. The graphic organizers can be saved and shared within the site or embedded into a website for others to view. This site has two levels of service the free component does not allow the user the same privileges as the paid customer such as uploading pictures but with the free component the user is able to still make a interactive dynamic presentation. This site is better than some of its counterparts like Inspiration and even Bubbl.us because it allows the user to embed the graphic organizer into a website or create a slide show presentation of what they are trying to do.
