Here's a Prezi based presentation by Emily Button which shows her process in planning and creating a great looking, fully functional and intuitive course that students will love.
These sorts of presentation are so important to show the thought process behind course design and Emily explains her rational in a clear and thoughful manner.
I really liked her:
Blended what we teach (CONTENT) and how we teach (PEDAGOGY) using a range of different tools (TECHNOLOGY)
Can anyone tell me how she managed to make those check boxes. This isnt the Task Checklist plugin is it?
I wonder if she could autolink words to a glossary instead of download?
A super prezi too... Via gideonwilliams, Moodle_UK

"About Versu Versu is an interactive storytelling platform that builds experiences around characters and social interaction. Each story sets out a premise and some possible outcomes. As a player, you get to select a character, guide their choices, watch other characters react to what you've chosen, and accomplish (or fail at) your chosen goals.
As a content creator, you'll be able to create your own characters, improvise new dialogue and gestures for them, and even build entirely new stories and games for others to enjoy.
Versu experiences are more detailed and complex than choose-your-path stories you may have seen before. The engine uses social AI by Richard Evans (Black and White, Sims 3) and conversation modeling by Emily Short (Galatea, Alabaster) to allow characters to react in-persona to whatever situations they encounter — so when you select an action, those around you will respond dynamically based on their moods, character abilities, and the narrative situation...."

Mindmapping has always been a great way to get your thoughts and plans organized. Here is an article which describes the top five most popular programs. Our personal preference is either Xmind or FreeMind, both free, but all of them will help your business.

The voting 'eggs' in the suitcase, where each needed to be programmed, are obsolete. Students and teachers can use their web devices to quickly set up polls and other interactive feedback quickly and easily with web based options, of which this is one of the simplest. For iPad users, check out NearPod, Socrative, or Doceri, each with its own feature ist, to see which works best for you! It can be difficult to move from traditonal modes of presentation to building interaction into instruction, but I am trying to plan future PD courses using this type of technology. I would love feedback from teachers and professional development specialists about what works, pitfalls to look out for, and any other resources that you may suggest.
