New information on the power of using wikis with emphasis on collaboration and discussion instead of on the details behind the inception of the wiki or process of updating the wiki.
This is YouTube's free video editing Web 2.0 program. Students and teachers could use this to create and store online media for classes. Many schools have Google accounts for their students that could be used to access the YouTube video editor as long as administrator provided the proper permissions. This could also be a free alternative to programs districts must pay for like iMovie or WeVideo.
I know someone else already posted this, but it was such a great find (and I did not know it existed!!) that I had to bookmark it for myself. I am posting this for totally selfish reasons, and not for use with my students exclusively. Although, I am sure I could use this editor to enhance instructional videos, or my students could use it to enhance videos they may create as projects. Currently, I'm excited to use it for myself, for current class projects. =X
This site uploads newspaper editions from across the country. Students are able to browse newspapers and compare or contrast newspapers that may have similar articles based on their location in the country.
I really like this resource. It reminds me of CoveritLive, which I used before it went to a pay service. This seems very easy to use, and I look forward to finding out a way to implement this into my classroom. Another teacher at my school just the other day wanted to know an alternative to CoveritLive and now I have one. Thank you.
I think this could effectively be used in a virtual classroom in my future because my students could get on with their presentation, have it available for viewing by me and his or her classmates, and I can get on and edit it if needed. I believe this resource is for both teacher and student use, as students must get on with their presentations, or the teacher could, and they could make comments and give feedback on one anothers' work. This reminds me a lot of Adobe Connect!
