MotionComposer for Mac! Create HTML5 Animated Content for iBooks & Websites: A Review | Wired Educator | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

Costs $149 but could be worth it if an institution purchases or if you create a lot of iBooks. Interesting to add when creating iBooks. 

Richard Seal's curator insight, April 24, 2013 6:02 AM

Very interesting. I may have to see if I can make this happen for next year.

Add this to the growing number of presentation services that are popping up online.  I am not sure if this would replace other servces, such as Powtoon, Prezi, and Google Drive/Docs, but it definitely has its uses.  Check it out and see for yourself.

Carmenne Kalyaniwala's curator insight, April 26, 2013 3:40 AM

Brilliant, not just the list of the types of stories, but in the telling of them. 

alistairm 's curator insight, April 29, 2013 3:52 AM

Good storytelling is one of the ultimate ways of being inclusive and a simple story can set the scene for making any learning come alive - irrespective of the age group. This collection of stories is useful imagination-fodder.

Scapple Beta - Jot down ideas quickly

Scapple Beta - Jot down ideas quickly | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

In short, then, Scapple is a tool for getting early ideas down as quickly as possible and making connections between them. The main advantage of doing this in Scapple instead of on paper is that you don't run out of paper (the Scapple canvas expands to fit as many notes as you want to create), you can move notes around to make room for new ideas and connections, it's easy to delete and edit notes, and it's easy to export your notes into other applications when you know what you want to do with them.

Scapple isn't mind-mapping software - rather, it's more like a freeform text editor, allowing you to make notes anywhere on the page. It doesn't force you to make any connections, and it doesn't expect you to start out with one central idea and branch everything else off that. There's no hierarchy - every note is equal, so you can connect notes in circles or even connect every note to every other note if you so wish. Individual notes can be a short or as long as you like. Creating and removing connections between them is as easy as dragging one note onto another.

Dolly Bhasin 's curator insight, April 22, 2013 2:26 AM

could also be used to share ideas with developers!

Taigen: small sites made easy.

Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
Features
  • Built-in Markdown Editor. Markdown allows you to focus on writing your thoughts instead of HTML.
  • Page Preview. The Preview built into the editor page allows you to view the final HTML as you write.
  • One button publish.
  • One button export. Download a zip file of all of your website markdown and HTML files by clicking the Export button.
  • Nightly off-site backups of your website.
  • Autosave. All page edits are stored on your computer drive until you click the Publish button.
  • Site themes. The built-in themes make it easy to add a navigation bar and title to your pages. See the demo for an example.
  • One site free per person. (While supplies last.)
  • No ads.
How it works
  • The Publish button sends your pages to the server, and tells the server to publish them to the world.
  • The Live Link hyperlink allows you to see your web page as currently written and themed. Before you do so, you need to clickPublish.
  • Your site is a subdirectory of taigen.us, so the url will be http://www.taigen.us.your-site-name.
  • The site page named home will be the index page for that site. In other words, to visit the home page either:
    • Use home in the URL: http://wwww.taigen.us/your-site-name/home
    • Or leave the page name off completely: http://www.taigen.us/your-site-name

In my SMART Board courses, I find that teachers feel as though they are obligated to create lessons on a grandiose scale.  This article focuses on simple things that a SMART Board can be used for that  may often be overlooked in the process of creating big, flashy lessons.
