Animoto - 0 views

shared by Jon Lever on 18 Apr 11 - Cached
  •  
    Animoto allows the user to upload photos and and text as well as music. Just like the use of Glogster, the use of Animoto can be authentic if the assessment is designed properly, the use will be authentic. In an anecdotal way of reporting, I have seen students become excited about the use of Animoto. Animoto is free but does have a premium version.

Glogster: make a poster online. It's free! - 7 views

  •  
    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.

SlideRocket - 0 views

  •  
    Slide Rocket allows the user to create new PowerPoint style presentation or to import presentations from PowerPoint. These presentations can be shared and the site keeps track of how many users are viewing the presentation and how it is being shared. Because it allows the user to use existing presentations, it also eliminates the need for a single computer to be able to edit the presentation.

Prezi - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Text 2 Mind Map - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Bubbl.us - 2 views

  •  
    Bubbl.us is a relatively easy and free online graphic organizer. The site allows the user to create a mindmap, concept map, or other graphic organizer. The user can easily create new parent and child bubbles allow a hierarchical organization to the ideas in the concept map. The advantage of bubbl.us is that it is free.

Screenr for pre-training - 1 views

  •  
    Screenr allows the user to record a five minute video. The benefit of the time limit of five minutes is that you have to be concise in your video creation. The overall screencasting experience is beneficial because if you are having individuals involved in the process of a common project (e.g. creating a blog or a Facebook group) everyone can get the same instruction and be ready to move on to the main portion of the project.

Screencast-O-Matic - 0 views

  •  
    This site allows the user to create a screencast using a web based service, so unlike other screencasting programs, this one is entirely online. The benefit of screencasting is that you can show your users how to create something using the computer and be able to share the video in the end.
