What is the Comprehension Task Maker? The Comprehension Task Maker is a program that can be downloaded and installed on your computer. Once installed, you can use the Comprehension Task Maker to create your own customised interactive multimedia comprehension tasks. When creating a comprehension task there are two main componants: * The information for comprehension * The questions the player must complete to show they understand the information provided. Questions can be either multiple choice or True - False. Because you decide on the information and questions, you can create tasks for any level and for any topic. Tasks can be made in any language using any script. Finished tasks are saved as webpages and can be used for any non commercial purposes. They can be copied onto the school network, a memory stick to share with others. Tasks can be linked to the schools intranet or ineternet site, or included in a blog.

Hard to explain, sort of like a diigo on a photo, comments, questions can be posted or tagged to certain parts of the image Could be great for a H/W front loading session, have the kids view and ask questions /make comments before sharing in class. Could be anonymous or not.

Have a look, there may be some gems

OMG some very cool use of web2.0 tech here. What could we use?

Links to apps that our kids could be using on their ipads (what!! Not just Angry Birds?!)

What is cool about webdoc is that you can so easily embed or drag and drop all sorts of content / media right onto the page and it is also designed for discussion / conversation that can have media included as well. Here are some ways I can envision using it in education: Students create passion profiles. Students create "What's Your Genius" profiles of one another and use the discussion to build upon it. Forget textbooks. Create webdocs. Each teacher can have Webdoc that outlines who she is. Classes can make webdocs to celebrate the completion of a unit of study. Schools can use webdocs to organize events. Imagine this webdoc from @jmarkeyAP was a school event. Webdocs as a student learning portfolio.

Excellent site for math help
