View: floor level…me on carpet (our shipment made it)…repeat of the Wigam V Chelsea game on TV…dog on carpet…cat running in front of us…weird looking indoor pond in the background. Will look better soon but I will not post any pics for a while.
Dad,…… this sucks. The only thing the online text review gives me is a pdf. Can’t they do better? Something interactive? Not yet I guess Aaron. Maybe WOW needs to develop something that includes the ability to do a linear regression as a path to get more gear.
Sure Dad……… followed by a long talk about how you get gear. For those that think you do not learn playing games, you should have listened to that description.
Another interesting timeline tool also includes a list, flipbook and map view. Very easy to import my wordpress blog posts, twitter and Last Fm information and embed into this blog post. Might be an interesting way to aggregate kid’s edublogs post? Anyhow something to play with.
Video export from Voicethread to Viddler to Vodpod and embedded into a wordpress page. Kind of a cool way to display kids work. The embedded voicethread looks better than the videos but I need to make room on my ed.voicethread account for next semester. (Video Wall)
Been having some fun playing with Sproutbuilder. They have added new capabilities that I like. In particular a history that allows me to more easily undo the many mistakes I make. My design capabilities, obviously need some help, but you can create great widgets that mash together all sorts of content. The widget on this page contains text, an RSS feed from one of my class blog categories and numerous videos that my students created. All placed together into a flash based widget.
Recently they added the capabilities of adding a Gform to a widget or your tweets as you can see on my sidebar. All sorts of possibilities.
Wow looks like my first paragraph was deleted oops. Anyhow as I had said (never sounds as good the second time) I read a couple of blog posts somewhere, I forgot where, that lead me to Presentation Zen. Started looking at the links there and watched Dick Hardt’s OSCON presentation then moved on to Lawrence Lessig’s page and browsed his posts and videos. A while later I received a tweet that lead me to another Lessig presentation.
Wondered if I could get kids to try something different than the typical presentations I have seen this year-OK not really a presentation but more of a digital story. Anyhow, I created an issue based research unit, showed Lessig’s and Hardt’s presentations to my class and had them try to incorporate what we discussed about the videos/presentations into their own work. A mixture of text audio and graphics.
Thanks to http://ideasandthoughts.org/ and Dean Shareski creating a Video wall was a lot easier than I had imagined. I uploaded my videos to Viddler then added Vodpod widget to a Wordpress Page, to create a video wall, Video Wall also in the menu system top right. I have added the first presentation to the video wall confla by Bilal and will begin adding them all, plus our Voicethreads and old videos as well.
