assessment guides - scoring rubrics for digital media

Collaborative tool that can utilize various types of media and allow commenting through voice, text, audio file, and video. The person commenting can also draw on the visual and it will by synched with their comment. Educators can purchase a one time $10 membership to put more restrictions on access.

Teachers could use this tool to post images, videos, or slideshows and have each student share their ideas about what was presented. This would give all students a chance to express their thoughts. I believe the teacher can hold the comments until she is ready to release them so students can't base their comments on the other comments they heard. I also liked the idea that it could be moderated by the creator of the Voicethread. Students could also use it as a presentation tool.

This is a very cool tool. I came across it this weekend while searching for something for my Cool Tools Demo and immediately put it down as one of the things I wanted to talk about. I just noticed you just posted this, so I hope I don't steal your thunder! It is something I would love to learn more about and actually use at some point, though. SlideShare is a similar program I came across and signed up for as well. I'll post that bookmark for the group.

Very interesting project that well help students make personal connections to historical events. Students interview family or friends about life experiences related to world or local history. It is interesting to read what students in other parts of the world have written about events we are familiar with. I would love to see them organize the family stories by events as well as countries.

Students research and write about traditional celebrations in their country or region. Helps younger generations preserve traditions and helps students better understand various global traditions. With a better understanding of customs of other countries, our students may develop more compassion and tolerance for those who are different!

Students describe a typical day in their life and/or a special event such as a birthday. Students may also submit a captioned digital photo of themself representing an event in their life on an agreed upon subject (e.g. typical meal, transportation to school). This is a great way for students around the world to learn what it is like to be a child in different countries. Students may develop a deeper understanding and tolerance for cultures that are different from their own.

Students around the world study a local water habitat. They collect data, a suggested list is provided, and share their findings with others. The idea is to promote understanding of the various impacts on water habitats and to take action to improve and sustain quality habitats based on scientific understandings. This project includes mentoring from a university environmental scientist.

iTALC is free software that allows you to view and control other computers in your network. You could use this software to show all students a demo, lock workstations for undivided attention, or sending text-messages to students.

Search for "Everything I know in 15 minutes." In a graduation address Doug Johnson speaks about the newest generation and their relationship with education. He tells about their high expectations when it comes to technology, their insistence on engaging lessons, and their ability to co-teach when it comes to technology.

Bubbl.us is an online, idea-web creater. It is simple to use, and can be shared and edited with others. My students love using Inspiration but they cannot work on assignments at home since they do not have the software. This site does not have the robustness of Inspiration but it can be used at home and shared between a group.
