Education Technology - theory and practice: Dropbox resources for teachers

Education Technology - theory and practice: Dropbox resources for teachers | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

By Timo Ilomäki

 

"In Voionmaa high school we use Dropbox in many ways.  Teachers have their own account for sharing files, some teachers also share files with each other. Every teacher has also iPad and Dropbox is a useful tool for iPad users. That is why also many of our students have accounts to share all videos and images from iPad image file."

Free and easy tool for creating multimedia stories and presentations, and sharing them with anyone. Upload your photos, add audio, video or text and publish the story.

You can sign up with your Facebook account or your email.

 

Educators have an option to pay a membership fee ($4.99 /mo. or $50 /yr.) to create 50 student accounts which are protected from the public. Before you decide on this step, there is a 30-day free trial.

This looks like an awesome student storytelling platform.

Shanika Journey's curator insight, February 19, 12:26 AM

Very interesting and a very simple tool for those who just want to tell stories, alone or with a group, by quickly adding pictures, video, and voiceover to narrate through the presentation. Looks like a pretty new site and it has both free and paid accounts.

Jeannette Jackson's curator insight, February 19, 7:02 PM

Pierre Levy's curator insight, March 28, 10:52 AM

Using Big Data successfully requires human translation and context whether it's for your staff or the people your organization is trying to reach. Without a human frame, like photos or words that make emotion salient, data will only confuse, and certainly won't lead to smart organizational behavior.

Data gives you the what, but humans know the why.

Charlotte L Weitze's curator insight, March 11, 4:42 AM
Robin Good's insight:

 

 

Hats to Susan Mernit, who has an excellent piece on Knight Digital Media Center about how to do effective news curation and storytelling with Storify.

 

She brings in lots of relevant stories and examples showcasing how other individuals and journalists have been effectively using this news curation platform.

 

"The most successful creators of Meograph and Storify pages are united by one thing: they’re skilled editors and curators who know how to look at content posted on multiple social networks and pull out the pieces that will best help them to tell a story."

 

“Storify is the best way to gather tweets, comments, snippets and images from all around the Web and put them into one post. It's a new way of blogging that lets all your Internet friends participate.”

 

Brava Susan, great job and superglad to have intercepted you again.

 

 

Instructive. Informative. Resourceful. 8/10

Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style

Meograph – 4 Dimensional Story Telling Web 2.0 Style | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's curator insight, January 13, 6:55 PM

This post from Mark Gleeson provides a great overview of Meograph, a fairly new Web 2.0 tool that allows you tell stories using images/videos, text, maps and a timeline, or as Gleeson states the "who/what, when, and where." In addition Gleeson takes the time to describe how to use the tool in words as well as a video, and also discusses some of the issues that he experienced. The Meograph website is geared to journalism and education. The education section states that the benefits of the site include "making learning fun with interactive content, easy for students to create their own projects, and perfect for history, literature and more." To go directly to the education site click http://www.meograph.com/education.
