Brooksie over at CD Tech (http://gcedtech.blogspot.com/2008/04/animoto.html) showed me this. Brooksie left a message introducing me to her blog on yesterday's post and wow, I learned something new!
Animoto will giv eyou a FREE code to make full length videos on animoto! This is a really cool free tool but we've been using the 30 second version! I didn't know we could use the full version for fREE! Wow! So cool
This pitch for the project Perspective Detectives by Cynthia Sandler, one of our current class of Flat Classroom certified teachers completely left me awe struck and excited. Wow! What do you think? What a history project!
A cool video from a teacher about how she is innovating in her classroom. This is an application for Google Teacher Academy and was made on Animoto and uploaded to Google Video. Great job!
More applications for events and organizations are moving to the video format. Knowing how to produce compelling video will help your students get scholarships and you move ahead. Learn how to tell digital stories.
Oh, and I'm so excited, it looks like I'll be at Google teacher academy in June -- it is going to be great!
This website has .pdf downloads that have you learning how to do many online technology applications- most of them are free. Animoto, voicethread, google items, wikispaces...
Why use Web 2.0 tools in science and math classes? The primary reason is they facilitate access to input and interaction with content through reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
These tools offer enormous advantages for science and math teachers, in terms of helping their students learn using Web 2.0 tools. For example:
* Most of these tools can be edited from any computer connected to the Internet. Teachers can add, edit and delete information even during class time.
* Students learn how to use these tools for academic purposes and, at the same time, can transfer their use to their personal lives and future professional careers.
* RSS feeds allow students to access all the desired research information on one page.
* Students learn to be autonomous in their learning process.
