Starting to like Voicethread as a reflective assessment tool. Have the student go through a process then use Voicethread to describe and reflect on what they learn. As I get better at this I am hoping I will get them to take more time to add more depth to there reflection. Sounds like I need to construct a rubric at our exciting rubric PD session on Thursday. Here is an initial sample from Nick. It will be interesting to see how this will work for the student’s CD cover assignment as well.
Took me a while to figure this out but it works well. Get your rss feeds from your student’s blogs then take your feed over to Feedjournal Publisher. This service creates a newspaper made up of your rss feeds. From here you can upload the resulting pdf file to scribd then embed the scribd Ipaper into your blog.
Am really starting to like ScreenFlow. An easy to use tool that allows you to capture screen actions as well as your audio and video through your isight or dvd camera. Took me a few minutes to record the video below that shows you how you can embed a web page into a Igoogle tab.
After reading through the posts, looking and listening to the media that was available on each of the blogs I visited I thought I would try Sproutbuilder to create a widget that brings them all together. Interesting possibilities, an easy to use tool and I am impressed with the way it can bring everything together.
