Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne discusses how to create audio slideshows in YouTube, providing excellent directions as well as screen shots. Why choose YouTube? It is free. You can create slideshows up to fifteen minutes in length. You can choose how long your slides are displayed. You can annotate each slide. And if you are a Google Apps school students may use the same log-in.

I contenuti multimediali sono il futuro (anche) del copywriting.

"Wideo allows you to create short, animated videos and Common Craft like videos in your web browser. Today,Wideo announced that you can now upload your own audio files into your video projects. This means that you could record a voiceover and add it to your video."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Wideo is a free online tool that allows you to create your own animation. You can use images, fonts, animations and videos available on the site or upload your own...and shre your final project! This post provides a quick look of how it works (with a short video) or you can go directly to the site: http://wideo.co/.

This is very cool. It's expensive to get these done otherwise. |

"In this posting, we’ll look at options to increase the depth of your instruction. What you’ll notice throughout the activities is a shift to student ownership of learning, as well as the need to think at higher levels to complete the activities."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you looking for ways to increase rigor in your classroom? This post provides three strategies as well as a number of examples to help you. The strategies are: 1. Design With Inquiry & Diversity 2. Have Students Create Videos–From Beginning To End 3. Use Virtual Tours Additional detail is available in the post for each of the strategies and suggestions for adding rigor in ELA and math is also discussed. In fact, the final paragraph states asking "students to write riddles about words, rather than having them simply write a definition...requires students to think at higher levels to complete the activity." Adding rigor may not be as difficult as might think...but it may require that we rethink how we are teaching.

Definitely some good ideas worth initiating in the teaching program.

"Animoto is an excellent tool for creating audio slideshows. But there are some limitations to it that some teachers don't like. Most notable of those limitations is the time limit (30 seconds unless you get an Animoto for Education account), lack of space for text, and that students have to remember a username and password to use it. The YouTube slideshow tool provides a tool for creating audio slideshows without those three limitations of Animoto."
Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for an alternative to Animoto to use with students to create photo slideshows check out YouTubePhoto Slideshows. YouTube allows you to create videos up to 15 minutes in length and you may specify how long a slide is shown. There is also an annotation tool to add text. For those folks whom use Google Apps for Eduation students already have a user name and log-in. Richard Byrne provides directions (with screen shots) to walk you through the process.

This page shows how to use YouTube for slideshows so that they are longer and more accessible to students that other sites like Animoto. I had no idea that YouTube had this capability. In my district, YouTube is blocked on campus computers (I'm sure many others can sympathize) so I would need to work around that if I had students using this in a lesson. Recently I began to use SlideRocket to create video lessons so that I can incorporate audio narration and the link is not blocked by the district's web filter. SlideRocket could be used for a slideshow as well, but it takes a lot more customizing than this YouTube method. This blog has a ton of other useful information too. Kudos to the writer! |
Summertime...a time to recharge and to think about what we might do in our classrooms next year (at least for the folks who are now out of school). Have you been considering learning some new tech tools? This website is a great place to start. They have short tutorials on nine "emerging tech tools" and more will be added. The tutorials include:
* Create a Flipped Lesson with TedEd
* Easily Create Private Digital Online Content Discussions with Tackk
* Using Movenote to Create Custom Video Lessons
* Create Powerful Lessons in Minutes with Blendspace
* Remind 101 - A Free Tool for Text Messaging Students
Two more tools are available and you might want to bookmark this site as they will continue to add new tools as they become available.
