    trackstar offers teachers a way to control the internet for students. http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/;jsessionid=D1671293B1A30DDCF0425D894C2729D9 With trackstar the teacher generates a list of sites that the students will use to answer a given series of questions. The questions should lead to discovery on the websites annotated in the trackstar. I chose trackstar because it is very easy to use and has been in use for quite a while. This means that many trackstars have already been created for use by other teachers. A quick search through the database could deliver exactly what you need for your next activity.

    This website has various resources for teachers who wish to organize their classrooms. The website focuses on behavioral activity since many of the suggestions are projected to result in the teacher feeling less overwhelmed upon implementing these suggested ideas. There is clearly what Mayer (2009) would refer to as a learner-centered design since many of the included links focus on how learners can play an active role in contributing to classroom organization. Furthermore, there are suggestions with regards to how various items should be placed to accommodate the diverse learning needs of students.

    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.

    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 great online alternative to Power Point. It allows you to create power point style presentations that can be shared via a url or downloaded. It is a great alternative first, because its free and still offers most of the common options used in Power Point. Being able to share it via url, and allow the users to download it as an html.

    This site allows the user to create a slide show presetnation from anywhere without having to use PowerPoint. The only thing needed is a web browser and this is compatible with IE 7, Firfox and Camino. What I liked best about this site is its ease of use and that all members can work on the same presentation at the same time. Also, there is no limit to the number or length of the presentation. You even have 250MB to store photos.
  • Koh Herlong on 20 Jul 10
     
    What it does: It is a simplified version of Power Point allowing a user to create slides. Why this one: It is free and easy to use. It is also web-based so that teachers do not need to copy it into folders, files, or CDs. The recurring theme that I have tried to maintain is 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. This application, while more limited than Power Point, does allow teachers to complete a project in less time. Learning benefits: Teachers can quickly create a number of messages for essential learning using this package. As well, they can incorporate mind maps, graphic organizers, or other tools to expand the learning process into generative thinking.

    The free web based presentation software program allows teachers to create presentations without having an Internet connection. \nWhy this one: The presentation software program is easy to use and generates the slides as web pages. The programs allows users to have unlimited online collaboration. Generative thinking supported through mind maps and graphic organizers.\n

    PreZentIt is a free presentation, web-based program for creating, editing and presenting images and text. This seems almost the same as creating a powerpoint presentation, except it allows multiple user editing simultaneously, and is on the cloud, so isn't 'stuck" on a computer, when you need it in another location.
  • Randy Rodgers on 17 Jan 11
     
    Very easy to use site for creating online, collaborative presentations (a la PowerPoint). The site offers very little in terms of how-to information, and it is primarily at the generative level of cognitive processing, focusing on creating and applying the tool. However, it is a very simple interface, much like PowerPoint stripped down to the basics. Its advantages are ease-of-use, share-ability, privacy options, and the ability to download presentations.
  • Sara Sharick on 14 Jul 13
     
    Description: This site requires users to register in order to save and access presentations. It is simple and easy to use. Presentations can be accessed from any computer without downloading special plug-ins. Explanation: This is a good tool for users to create online presentations for sharing or accessing from anywhere. It is preferred to other sites because it is easy to use and free.

    Learn Teacher Tube in 5 minutes. Video gives you steps for learning about teacher tube in your classroom. This is accomplishing both learner and technology centered approach. The potential for using teacher tube in the classroom to engage students is enormous. This can be used as learner centered when students are learning to use teacher tube. This would be technology centered as it. Mayer states that, "Technology centered approaches begin with the functional capacities of multimedia and ask, "How can we use these capabilities of multimedia presentations? (2009, p. 19)" References Mayer, R. E. (2009). Multimedia learning (2nd ed.). Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press.

    Xtranormal is an online site where you can make movies by combing graphical actors with text to type in a script to be used, or record directly. The scenes then can be acted out and recorded, used online or downloaded. The video maker allows for the addition of background music and or sounds, different camera angles, and movement and gestures of the actors. This is a great program that can be used by teachers and students alike for digital storytelling. Teachers that subscribe to the pay site can set up a classroom where each of their students will also have access to the site.
