Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Ways to Add Interactive Elements to Your Videos

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Ways to Add Interactive Elements to Your Videos | Teacher-Librarian | Scoop.it

Over the last few days I've featured a couple of free tools for adding interactive elements to your videos. In the last year I've reviewed a few other services and methods for doing the same thing. This is a round-up of the ways that you can add interactive elements to your videos. The first four tools could be used by students to create a series of choose your own adventure videos. These tools could be used by teachers to enhance the short videos that they create for flipped lessons.

Transitions to Digital Media | Are school libraries on the way out?

Transitions to Digital Media | Are school libraries on the way out? | Teacher-Librarian | Scoop.it
So is this the beginning of the end for school libraries? Not by a long shot, says Susan Ballard, president of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). Enlightened administrators realize that school librarians still play a pivotal role for students, guiding them through search processes and helping them find appropriate, reliable, vetted resources in print and digital format for research and other classroom projects.
Monica Nilsson's curator insight, February 24, 12:27 PM

Skolbibliotekarien än mer viktigare i dag - i den roll som alltid varit viktigast: att utbilda och handleda i att navigera i informationsflödet med färdighet att filtrera och reflektera.

CBC Diversity: Diversity 101: The Trappings of Difference

CBC Diversity: Diversity 101: The Trappings of Difference | Teacher-Librarian | Scoop.it

Writing About Emotional and Developmental Disabilities 


Contributed to CBC Diversity by Lyn Miller-Lachmann  

My Personal Connection 
I am honored and grateful to be invited to contribute to the Diversity 101 blog, but as a person with Asperger’s syndrome (a mild form of autism) who can discuss at great length a topic of special interest, I find the blog’s word limit especially challenging. Hence, I will focus on what is one of my biggest issues among those who write about emotional and developmental disabilities such as Asperger’s—the exaggeration of difference at the expense of the feelings and desires we all have in common

story slinger

story slinger | Teacher-Librarian | Scoop.it

I love great stories--and especially love passing them on to others. Mostly I blog about middle grade or YA fiction, but I love good narrative nonfiction for kids too. Personal stuff: I'm a Massachusetts-based writer of fiction and nonfiction for young readers, former middle-school and high-school library aide, current independent bookstore bookseller, public library clerk, and all-around story slinger.

Librarian@HOPE's insight:

There are a lot of very good book blogs out there, but this one is worth taking the time to check out.

Wonderopolis

Wonderopolis | Teacher-Librarian | Scoop.it
Librarian@HOPE's insight:

"Wonderopolis is a fantastic site that I learned about through Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano's current series of blog posts about embedding visuals into teaching and learning. Wonderopolis currently offers nearly 900 "wonder" prompts. The prompts cover topics in science, social studies, mathematics, and language arts. Each of the prompts includes a short article, a video, an image or two, and links to additional readings." --Richard Byrne

wireWAX - interactive video tool

wireWAX is video, evolved. Start tagging your own videos today.
Librarian@HOPE's insight:

"What makes using wireWax different from using the YouTube annotations tool is that clicking on your tags (what YouTube calls annotations) does not send you outside of the video you're currently watching. This means that you can watch a video within a video or view a picture or listen to a different audio track within the original video. When you click a tag in the original video the video pauses and the tagged item is displayed." --Richard Bryne
