"nice use of Animoto, I have used that program before to create the free 30 second shorts but never for something of the length that you did.
Regarding the video itself I thought a very insightful piece with some good points. I am sensitive to this…"
Andrea Hildreth replied to Benjamin Johnson's discussion Homework Slideshow Solution?"Don't forget to engage your audience. Perhaps you could insert some student snap-shots between your messages (example: have them photograph each other making funny faces, or playing the air guitar, etc). Once the school administration and…"
Katy Scott replied to Benjamin Johnson's discussion Homework Slideshow Solution?"I'm not sure if it will meet you needs, but you could try Prezi. It's basically PowerPoint on steroids, and it's got a fairly intuitive interface. Once you create a Prezi, you can "share" it with other users, and everyone…"
Kev replied to Benjamin Johnson's discussion Homework Slideshow Solution?"G docs would work. I will warn you from experience that you will end up putting it together and keeping it updated or it will never happen!

With the announcements only being 5 minutes long I would like to have some form of informational slide-show on the screen the rest of the time reminding students of upcoming events, homework due, and other information. Thing is, I don't want to be the one in charge of putting all of this together and keeping it updated. Question: What sort of collaborative program would anyone recommend…See More

Allan Foster replied to Benjamin Johnson's discussion Equipment Check In/Out"Having done this for a decade, I can tell you that if multiple items in one case are important, then each case must be opened and checked upon return. It helps to have a laminated list attached to each case listing all of the critical included…"
Katy Scott replied to Benjamin Johnson's discussion Equipment Check In/Out"You could put a student in charge of the check-in/out process. You can usually find a student who is (for lack of a better word) anal enough to check everything and then report back to you.
I don't know about a separate bar-coding system -- we…"
