clipper's remarks: slideshare

Clip Source: blackboard.jeffco.k12.co.us

Slideshare http://www.slideshare.net allows for sharing slideshows on the Internet. Using pre-made slideshows can encourage exploration of topics. Teachers or presenters can place their own slideshows on this site for others to use.

This site is currently blocked by the district, you can get to it from home. Why re-invent the wheel, if someone else has already made a great presentation on the topic you're looking at.

Here is a good explanation of Web 2.0 tools in your classrooms using Slideshare. http://www.slideshare.net/markwoolley/web-20-tools-in-your-classroom/

Teaching on-screen and sharing the visual objects is another potential of the new web.

Voicethread http://voicethread.com

is a new site that allows a teacher (or anyone) to upload images, documents or videos and add narration, text and drawing elements on top of the photo slide show.

Here is a great example of how an art teacher uses the site. http://voicethread.com/view.php?b=3352

. For an example of using this at the primary level, try the one from Grace Kat's 3rd Grade class in Sydney, Australia. Voice thread allows for synchronous or asynchronous discussions, annotation of images, interactive discussion, and illustration of instructional concepts in an online environment.

It takes a few tries to get your voice the way you want it. This would be helpful to home school students and if you use a SMART board, you could use the screen captures from class to post makeup work.

Clipmarks http://clipmarks.com/

allows you to "clip" the portions of a web page that catch your interest and you feel are worth saving. Do you ever pull articles out of a magazine for future reference? This is your digital tool to do the same. Finding interesting content and clipping it allows you to accumulate a body of information with web site URLs attached. This is a huge resource for research. Teaching students to clip as they read and research will leave them with a set of highlighted information with sources. What a great way to get students to cite their sources.

Your clips can be shared with others. The sharing and viewing of clips is a very powerful resource.

clipper's remarks: Del.icious & Diigo

Clip Source: blackboard.jeffco.k12.co.us

Del.icio.us http://del.icio.us is a bookmarking tool that not only makes your favorite sites available to you from any computer, but gives you the ability to organize your bookmarks with tags and share your bookmarks with other people.

Diigo http://www.diigo.com is a newer bookmarking platform and is similar to Del.icio.us. The advantage of Diigo is that users can create groups to share information more easily. For example, you could create a Physical Science Teacher group. Click the link to view a list of Diigo Groups.

Liz B. Davis, an Instructional Technologist at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts, has created short screencasts demonstrating how to use Del.icio.us and Diigo.

clipper's remarks: google search wiki

Clip Source: blackboard.jeffco.k12.co.us

Google SearchWiki: SearchWiki, is a way for you to customize search by re-ranking, deleting, adding, and commenting on search results. With just a single click you can move the results you like to the top or add a new site. You can also write notes attached to a particular site and remove results that you don't feel belong. These modifications will be shown to you every time you do the same search in the future. SearchWiki is available to signed-in Google users only.
The changes you make only affect your own searches. But SearchWiki also is a great way to share your insights with other searchers. You can see how the community has collectively edited the search results by clicking on the "See all notes for this SearchWiki" link.

If you have issues getting this to play, try this GoogleSearchWiki.avi .

Grokker http://www.grokker.com/ displays results in circles of related links. The bigger the circle, the greater the relevancy and result pool of the search. It takes a few seconds to build the map view once clicking on it.

Visuwords http://www.visuwords.com/ is a tool from which students can create an instant word wall. Type in a word and the program generates a web of synonyms.

Media literacy is an important aspect of quality technology use and training for our 21st century learners. Students not only need to find information but to also assess its credibility and relevancy. The evolving web is offering us a variety of ways to retrieve results and to "view" this information. Finding different ways to view information helps all learners and assures successful differentiated learning.
Searches:

Clusty http://clusty.com/ offers searches displayed in groups and if you click the magnifying glass icon it will show you the first page of the site.

Google Scholar http://scholar.google.com/ offers searches within a realm of professional education journals and papers.

Explore visual searches and connect these tools with visual learners you may have - there are a lot of them these days.

Part of the power of the emerging web is the collaborative focus. Being able to stand on the shoulders of those with previous experience enables us to get further in our own explorations. Sharing good resources helps others, and being able to find quality sites speeds us along our way. Folksonomies, a word derived from folk and taxonomy refers to the “tagging” (or categorizing) of items found on the web by its users in an attempt to categorize information they are finding. Tags are descriptors similar to keywords. We will also look at Social Bookmarking, as a professional tool. Don't spend hours searching for resources that others with similar interests (ie; Educators) have already bookmarked. Also, have your bookmarks available to you on any computer!
