    We use CPS Clickers within our classrooms for quizzes, tests, reviews, etc. The kids absolutely love using these and there are so many different ways to use clickers! You can play Jeopardy and other types of games with clickers. There's a little more prep time upfront, but very well worth it!

    Skype gets a lot of attention but some schools that I work with are using Oovoo instead. They think it gives a smoother transfer with less camera jumps.

    Valerie, I would be a willing Oovoo partner. I will download it now and seek a connection with you next week. Erica

  • believe me when I say creating a Prezi will take longer than creating a PowerPoint presentation

      This concerns me a bit. I spend a LOT of time working on making good PowerPoints. Will the additional time needed to do a Prezi be worth it?

      Drinda, I have made both PowerPoints and Prezi's for different purposes and different audiences depending on my purpose. Any good presentation takes time but I have had positive reviews on my well designed Prezi's. So I felt it was "worth it".
  • So, yes, if the whole world started using Prezi, Prezi presentations wouldn't be all that amazing. However, the whole world isn't using Prezi now are they? Only you are (hopefully)

      So are we merely talking about novelty here? According to the Prezi sight it's about thinking more wholistically rather than linearly. But if the presentation still goes along a path, what's so different?

      This is all so interesting! I am looking forward to exploring the use of a Prezi, as I am feeling a bit tired of power points.

      Drinda, you make an excellent point about the linear paths ~ you have motivated me to experiment with creating and using a Prezi without a preset path. This will stretch me to use it as a teaching tool rather than just another linear presentation tool.
  • Sue Runyon on 11 Feb 11
     
    I have used Prezi some and I really like it. It is taking more time now than Power Point but I think the more I use it I will spend less time correcting my mistakes!! I like that a Prezi forces me to think in terms of the "Big Ideas" and then how to support those ideas.

      I was not aware that NSTA had taken this position. This could be useful as we design online courses.
  • ut considers the following experiences to be within the scope of e-Learning: traditional classroom instruction that incorporates the planned and effective use of collaborative and/or interactive digital tools and resources, blended learning experiences that incorporate various combinations of technology-mediated and traditional classroom instruction, and distance delivered courses or programs.
  • the following elements key to effective, high-quality e-Learning experiences for teachers and students

      I would like to hear your thoughts on these critical elements.. I am intriqued by bullet #3.

    This is a great presentation website that you can use for free if you are an educator. I have used this in my classroom and the kids love it! I just give them my username and password so they are able to use it freely.

    Steve - This is one of my favorite sites!! The more I explore it I realize it is not just for math junkies but has benefits for all teachers. They have some great videos of elementary teachers using it.
