All kinds of creative uses of this tool come to mind. One can use it to have students visualize a character in a story and create a composite based upon the text and their own mental picture. Art Technology, Theatre, Language Arts, History could take strong advantage of this tool.
A video discussion tool that is great for students of all ages. You can present a question, they can respond to video, or do a book talk. The possibilities are endless. And the best thing - it is free.
A collection of tools used to access the 18,000 digital scan composites of the human body. Very powerful tools for helping teach health and physical education, anatomy and physiology in particular.
This links to a composition by Etienne Wenger, who co-coined the term Community of Practice. Wenger gives an overview with a specific statement that a CoP can be viewed as a social learning system, but is also part of a much broader social learning system, as a result of the network in which it takes place. Wenger goes on to identify the identities that happen as a result of being part of a CoP.
Another article by Etienne Wenger, this appears to be a synopsis and an update to his previously published book. While he does not go into great detail about the topics, he talks about communities of practice as social learning systems and in social learning systems. He also talks about the power of COPs, as well as the relevance to learning today.
This is another article by Etienne Wenger discussing communities of practice. I like it because it works in social learning systems. Social learning systems are similar to connectivism, CoP, and PLNs so I think it fits right in with our topic of study for this module.
Padlet is a digital board that can be used for for professional development for teachers or with students. The teacher creates an account, then creates a digital bulletin board that only requires web access via a link. Links can be emailed or posted in Google Classroom. Students can post using the link without signing in, which makes it easy to use. This tool can be used for brainstorming, formative assessment, collaboration, or an exit ticket.
I'm looking forward to try this site. You can create an account for free and then create bulletin boards that the teacher, student or class can use to collect pictures, text, even videos. Students can use this to create reports about topics. Teachers can create class discussion which can include media. Teachers can also use this as a place to turn in assignments. There are many possibilities.
