At work or for academic purposes, slide show presentations give a hand in exposing one's ideas to an audience. The combination of images and text make a great tool to give clear messages to anyone who's listening. This site, Helloslide.com, offers yet another enhancement to the presentations. That improvement is the addition of spoken text to the slides. You may think that slide show software, such as Microsoft Power Point, already offer the chance to add sound to its files. That's true. But one thing is to add sound and another one is that that sound is recorded voice. Until know, if you wanted your presentation with spoken text, you had to record it yourself on a sound file to later add it in the slide show. However, this was far from being practical. First you needed a voice recording software, then it was necessary to adapt that file into a format which would not make your presentation too big a file. Not to mention the amount o times you had to record you speech until you got it right. ... Via evangelina chavez, evangelina chavez 
¿Cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí? El impacto de las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) en nuestro entorno social es innegable, como innegable es el aumento de la socialización que estas permiten y en particular las redes sociales que generan el intercambio de ideas que aceleran de manera considerable el desarrollo de todas las áreas del conocimiento. Esta generalización del uso de las tecnologías a impactado en el aumento de la capacidad de utilizar la inteligencia colectiva. Con el desarrollo de la web 2.0 han aparecido nuevas formas de relacionarnos, los consumidores de contenidos hemos pasado a opinar, crear, compartir, como consecuencia de una gran facilidad para la aportación de la información. El conectivismo, como teoría emergente del aprendizaje, propone hoy un cambio sustancial y esencial al problema del aprendizaje y su adquisición en el entramado social y profesional que supone la adopción de las nuevas tecnologías en la educación. Lo anterior bajo la premisa de que los procesos de aprendizaje se sustentan y tiene su fundamento en las conexiones que somos capaces de establecer con otros y con el entorno, hoy día mediadas y facilitadas por estas herramientas de la web 2.0. ... Via evangelina chavez The flipped classroom provides avenues for teachers to become facilitators of learning & move away from the sage on a stage approach to teaching. The goal is to extend learning time conversation outside of class through threaded discussion. Via JackieGerstein Ed.D.

Mark Twain had a famous saying : “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” Personalized learning isn’t a new idea, but it seems school systems always perform poor in this demand. Hopefully digital learning could help facilitate this goal if we care to work it out. Via Nik Peachey, Amanda McAndrew "Taking statistics? Then you need the Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant.

"Technology is a tool that can be used to help teachers facilitate learning experiences that address the diverse learning needs of all students and help them develop 21st Century Skills. At it's most basic level, digital tools can be used to help students find, understand and use information. When combined with student-driven learning experiences fueled by Essential Questions offering flexible learning paths, it can be the ticket to success. Here is a closer look at three components of effectively using technology as a tool for digital differentiation."

Portfolios in education have been around for some time, and I think the term has developed a number of meanings depending on the educators or students purpose. In this video, one of my students talks about three varieties of digital portfolios and because of how we have implemented their collection, how a student can move easily from one form to the next. The three types discussed are: 1) The portfolio as "Catch-All" where all the students work is collected. Via Jim Lerman
