Presentation.io is a new service that is designed to help your audience follow along with your presentations. Presentation.io does this by allowing the members of your audience to see your slides on their laptops, iPads, and Android tablets and watch them change when you advance your slides. This ensures that everyone is on the same slide at the same time. Presentation.io includes a backchannel that allows your audience to comment on and ask questions about your slides. To start using Presentation.io upload a PPT or PDF to your free Presentation.io account. Presentation.io then gives you a URL to distribute to your audience. When the members of your audience open that URL they will be able to see and follow along with your presentation. When you're done with your presentation just click "stop presenting" and the synchronization stops. Presentation.io's free service allows you to share your presentations for 48 hours then you'll have to upload them again.

To create a Coggle mind map just sign-in with your Google account and click the "+" icon to start your mind map. After entering the main idea of your mind map you can add branches by clicking the "+" icons that appear next to everything you type. To re-arrange elements just click on them and drag them around your screen. Coggle is a collaborative tool. You can invite others to view and edit your mind maps. You can also just invite others to view by sending them an email through Coggle. All Coggle mind maps can be downloaded as PDFs or PNG image files.

TagMyDoc is a tool that allows you to apply a QR code to Word documents and PDFs that are stored on your computer. Upload your document then TagMyDoc creates and applies a QR code to it. You can print the document with the QR code on it or simply project the QR code for your students to scan and get a copy of the document on their mobile devices.

Embedit.In (part of Box.net) is a nifty online tool to convert most file formats to embeddable code for wikis, websites, blogs and more. Once embedded, you can write on them with an onscreen pen or highlight. When you upload the document and push 'embed', it provides a code to be copied and shows what the file will look like when it's embedded. I have 5th graders use it to embed their projects into their wiki pages. I teach them how to save MS Office files to pdfs (through the 'save as' button) and then convert the file to an embeddable format for their digital portfolios. Here's all you do: Log in using your Google, Twitter, Open ID, Yahoo, WordPress or AOL identity. I like that. One less log-in to remember. Upload the file Wait a moment while it processes and copy the embed code to the clipboard Paste the html code into the widget or embed code (or the html format for blogs) button and save.

Horizon Report 2012

1. Assign worksheet for homework. 2. The next day, collect worksheets & redistribute randomly to other classmates. 3. Give students 5 minutes to silently study the student's paper they were given. 4. Each student will be given 60-90 seconds to stand up and introduce the person they were randomly assigned. They are to tell everything they can about that person based on their paper. Challenge the students to practice higher level thinking + observations/inferences. For example, if the paper a student received is very neat & organized, they can infer that the student took his/her time and has good work ethic. If the paper is sloppy & only half complete, the student can infer that he/she rushed through the work or didn't try very hard.
