Here's the official bulletin board with the clickable links for the Google Docs for Education ideas. It was created in Glogster which is a powerful way for students to be able to share and create clickable graphics. Try out this tool, it is a great way to create an efolio and organize graphically.

Examples of Glogster used in education

I'm going to play w/ this service some -- it is glogster. Going to look at it -- lets you mash up video, text, audio, etc. Definitely a new app to look at.

A new service letting you mash up all types of media.

Glogster EDU is your original educational resource for innovative and interactive learning. 

This teacher has permission forms for use of Toondoo, Edmodo, and Glogster, three excellent sites that I also use in my classroom. While I like to combine mine all into one, this is an option for those very conservative districts.

A Note to Teachers and Parents These sites provide actvities that practice reading skills. Almost all these have a sound component so that the children can hear the stories. Some sites provide reading comprehension practice. When children use these sites, ask them to reflect on what they learned from them.

This looks like a great tool to create infographics, and or projects similar to Glogster.

This permission form has many different tools including weebly, Google dlocs, voicethread, YouTube, Glogster, Xtranormal, Toondoo, and others. I'm not sure that Audacity has to be included as it is a program on the local machine, however. I do like how the teacher asks for permission "I agree to allow my student's work to be used as  a positive example of published work for demonstration or promotional purposes." Some parents are afraid their child will be made to look bad in online examples, this covers that concern although it puts the onus on the teacher to make sure he/she vets examples that are published.

Jane Hart's list of Top 100 Tools for Learning in 2011. (Hat tip Stephen Downes) This is from a survey - not just one person's opinion. Topping the list (again): Twitter. I also LOVE how this list shows the previous rankings from the prior 4 years. Youtube is #2 although still blocked in SOOOOO many places followed by Google Docs, Skype, Wordpress, Dropbox, Prezi (something I haven't gotten into yet), Moodle, Slideshare, and Glogster EDU. Take a look at the entire list on her blog post.

Tackk is a quick, simple way to create a page (without really having a website.) This page links to all of the tackk's relating to education. This is a cool, unique idea and I haven't seen anything quite like it. Sort of pinterest/ glogster mixed together. Cool. Writing teachers or anyone who has students do quick projects might be interested in this.

Very clear instructions!

People es un recurso TIC diseñado con la herramienta de autor Malted para inglés de 5º de Primaria. Trabaja el presente simple, los adverbios de frecuencia, los pronombres interrogativos y hace un repaso por las profesiones, las horas y las actividades diarias y de tiempo libre. Como todos los recursos Malted, se complementa con una ficha de trabajo complementaria para el alumno y un cuaderno del profesor. Además, esta unidad incluye escenas adicionales realizadas con las herramientas Voki y Xtranormal: por ejemplo, puede verse un pequeño vídeo clip en el que un personaje habla sobre su trabajo, u otro vídeo clip en el que un personaje habla sobre su fin de semana realizado con Xtranormal; también pueden verse y escucharse unos mensajes hechos con Voki. Por último, cuenta con un glog final realizado en Glogster.
