Voici une liste d'outils à tester qui seront d'une aide confortable pour la création, l'animation ... de vos cours en Elearning.

Haiku Deck provides a clean and crisp user interface to craft a powerful presentation. The photo gallery is extremely large and gives a great deal of variety to users. 

Having seen this tool incorporated into a SMLE on this week's discussion board I was curious. Now I'm impressed.

The new templates are impressive! I looked into Haiku Deck a few years back, but it seemed limited in terms of other presentation tools available. Now I see much more affordability in using the tool.

I like animoto, since it is fairly easy to use, but prezi has a learning curve. Kizoa sounds very interesting, a combo of slides and video.

Google Docs is pretty cool, but sometimes you want something a little different.

I would be interested in reading most of these books, if I could sit still long enough to make it through a book!

Ideas for using not only PicCollage but also ThingLink.

Any tool that can be used to tell a story and add visual meaning is a useful way to differentiate product!

We've all seen computers being used as the $1,000 pencil. This is a great list to have handy when doing PD on technology infusion to help explain "why" to use it and "when" to use it. 

I couldn't help but read this article through the lenses of my "library glasses." Where do we fit in as educators in the edtech world? Why do we need libraries if students can access our resources remotely? The key is in point #2: the success of tech will still rely on skilled teachers. That's us. The skilled, professionally trained and certified school library media specialist. The tool is nothing without curated content.

Definitely, a lot of changes will take place in the next years in education. Are we, the educators, ready to update our role? What about gender equity in schools? 

Very useful! Thanks to Michel Verstrepen.      

This topic shows how to put professionalism in our Routine and get it accommodate in our work.

Great questions-especially, is the tool appropriate for your class/room?

Geeky-cool stuff! Thanks to Elizabeth E. Charles. 

Another example of SAMR model.

I've heard a lot about SMAR but never really taken the time to look into it. It might be time now that I'm looking at integrating more technology into my classroom. This model clearly supports technology and expects the use of it. 

Explains a lot about how digital tech can help, though on investigation this seems to be a model developed seemingly from nowhere without much academic work behind it. Example of a simple model stating the obvious? Does it matter that it's origins are hazy? Having had the chance to look into it and its creator, it's interesting to note how popular it is and how accepted it is, without much critique. Is it really that great a model?! Just wondering! Raises a lot of questions.

Carol Dwek's Mindset is based on a lot of research she has done over the years. It has applications throughout higher education. 

nice set of links about Carol Dweck's Mindset Theory.  Every parent needs to know what Carol Dweck discovered in her research.  

So one who wants to make a change must have a positive outlook on new situations or task that they are not used to?

This article is about how one can gain or become a part of the group that is a growth mind set. You gain success or become a better person by following these changes. 

This would make a wonderful poster to have in a media center to help teachers get up to speed on all the techie lingo. There is even a link at the bottom of the article that will allow you to download the poster for free. Enjoy!
