From a tweet sent to @jepcke I read about wordle. So I took my kids reflection on what they learned this week and created a wordle image. I uploaded the image to Flickr using Jing. I then went and imported the images into Animoto from Flickr and on to my Youtube area. The resulting Video is below. Was a bit of fun!!!

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.

New PD goal…..look foolish in WOW

I am lazy and I like Zemata.

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.
