"Publishing student thinking can be among the most powerful ways to improve learning.
There are a variety of reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that the 'threat' of publishing moves the lodestone from the classroom to the 'real world.' This, of course, changes everything."

Thought that movies can be made only with fancy video software? Think again! This video here shows how you can make short movies using only graphics, clipart, animations and other PowerPoint elements. The video focusses on digital storybooks, but this technique is quite useful to make short movies even for a business presentation. You could even pick up an animated PowerPoint presentation tool and use that as the basis of for your short 'animated' movie. Something like this doesn't take too much of your time and adding a story/movie to your presentation will add more appeal and pizzazz to your slides!

The post continues to explore what should be published, noting that "finished products and the thinking process itself are two very different things."
Why publish? Think of it as a process of authentic experience. Students like to have the ability to see their work online and have others respond to it. The post provides a table that lists 25 apps that range from "videos to graphics, blogging to concept mapping" across many platforms. This is interactive and links to edshelf where you may learn more about the app. In addition there is a list of 27 tools (many of which are listed inthe table).
