    I love this website.

    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.

Graphic Organizers by Houghton Mifflin English - 1 views

  •  
    Help kids put ideas and notes in order with any of these 33 graphic organizers. With names like Clock, Garden Gate, and Ice-Cream Cone, your students are sure to find more fun in sorting out their gained knowledge to find connections. These are printable or ideal to use with an interactive white board together. This web site is non-interactive on its own online as these are static visuals only. Essential learning comes together for younger learners with this website's offerings.

The verbal directions that correlate with the visual modeling foster generative processing of essential information.

How to use Movie Maker and Videos to enhance learning in the classroom | InnovativeICT.net - 2 views

  •  
    The first impression on this site was that it would have been an audio and visual presentation of movie maker how to. This tutorial became quickly less appealing when there was no sound and it was all text with nice visual effects. This site focused on behavioral activity because it used chunking to break down the parts of the tutorial into manageable sections. After reviewing this website it lead to the assumption that it was technology centered approach because this tutorial has no connection of prior knowledge or any type of feedback (Mayer, 2010).

Makes Sense Strategies - 4 views

  •  
    This site is a source for a variety of graphic organizers. It allows students/teaches to visually organize data in ways that make sense to them. This site if better than other because it offers more designs to choose from.
  •  
    * Makes Sense Strategies creates SMARTSheets™ that are research based visual teaching tools or graphic organizers on steroids! The SMARTSheets™ are specialized, discipline specific graphic organizers that can be tailored individually to each student to address Common Core State Standards and enhance highly engaging strategic instruction.
    * I found Makes Sense Strategies to be better than other graphic organizer websites because it provides a research-based tool of resources to assist teachers with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards. The plethora of resources for K-12 teachers of all subject areas is a bonus few other graphic organizer websites have.
