This site allows users to interactively dance with other users all over the world. This is a great pre-training exercise for teachers to assess the dance ability of their students. Students will be exposed to a variety of dance moves and styles and the teacher will be able to ascertain ability based on the interactivity. This is currently the only interactive dance site that I am aware of…I am sure that over time more sites will emerge.

More great resources for my workshop. This short video, very simply instructs users on adding a wiki within their Bb course. The video is free of extraneous, distracting information. The audio is clear and lined up with the appropriate visual.

Turns anything you want inot visually stunning tag cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text. This was a great site, gave many options to upload from, also had gallery to choose the orientation of your word cloud. My participants can use this as a visual along with their videos they create.

Tagxedo is a site that creates word clouds from user inputs. The site will convert a block of text to a word cloud, which can be transformed into a variety of shapes. Words that occur more frequently appear larger in the cloud. Teachers can use this for pre-training to present key terms. Based on the size of the words, learners can determine the key terms for the content they are learning, as well as important words associated with those key terms. The teacher can manipulate the text to place emphasis on the words of their choice. A feature of Tagxedo that distinguishes it from other sites is the feature that allows the user to upload an image and form the word cloud using she shape of that image. A teacher could use this possibility to further emphasize an important key term or concept. This site can be used for essential learning by providing learners with knowledge of key terms prior to the lesson, freeing important space in working memory for the processing of other information.

* Tagxedo is a great way to make "word clouds" from websites and different social networks in real-time by customizing the font, theme, color, orientation, and shape. Tagxedo is an excellent resource to use when introducing new content material, because of the ability to use Internet web addresses and other media that can be added to the word cloud.
* I found Tagxedo to be better than other "word cloud" websites because it is effective at using paragraphs of text to highlight key vocabulary and has many options to create a better-finished product that can be transferred to other mediums.

This is a good teacher resource to help organize thoughts for a problem based learning activity. I chose this site among others because it makes more sense to be consistent and clear about the task and then let the user decide what multimedia effect could be used to help design the solution.

Waypoint is an observation evaluation application that allows instructors to manage information and data on individual students in a more mobile, flexible manner. Users can keep track of observations, one or multiple, across a classroom in either a synchronous or asynchronous manner. Most assessment tools are not designed to be mobile, nor are they compatible with the iPad. Waypoint's commitment to this modality, along with its effective system makes it a valuable tool for instructors seeking to assess students in an authentic manner.

This inforgraphic provides data to the reader in an engaging, well-organized manner. It introduces a number of terms that can be built upon later in trainings, and it does so in an easily accessible, yet engaging manner. It allows one, later, to reference the specific information during discussions or other activities. This format is more desirable and potentially effective than other mediums because it is concise and easily manageable. It doesn't require a great deal of reading to understand, which is important in pre-training.

Quizlet is a site that allows learners to create online flashcards. Teachers can create sets to share with their learners, or learners can create their own. Some of the best features of Quizlet are the cost (free), capability of adding images to flashcards, and the fun factor. Quizlet creates games using the flashcards creating by the user, allowing learners study vocabulary in a more engaging manner. It can be used for essential learning by providing learners with key terms prior to the lesson. This knowledge will allow learners to focus their attention and working memory on the content, rather than the new terms. This site is better than other similar sites I have found and used because it is easy to use and provides options that other sites do not have, like uploading images.

This site provides a simple way to create learning tools that let you study anything, for free. You can also share what you create or use resources others have shared.
