Jeff Williams replied to Derrick Waddell's discussion 'Wave Goodbye' in the group Teachers in Google Wave
Comment part 2: I've been thinking about what Google can do with Wave. As you mentioned Derek, there are some cool aspects to Wave. They should just integrate Wave fully into the Google Docs. That would definitely beef up Docs and we would not…

In a way I always thought that if they had made Wave open to everyone in the beginning... kinda like like Google Buzz, but without the disastrous rollout... It would have had a chance, at least with educators. I was lucky enough to get an invite…

My favorite right now is Aviary. Image editing, vector drawing, audio editor (similar to Garage Band) and a new music creator. Too much fun!

Very nice!

I also used Quia this year! LOVE it - it's worth the $50 out of my classroom budget to be able to get instant feedback and tons of USEABLE data for my kids. The kids love it too as they not only take their tests on the site, but can use it to…

If you have not used GlogsterEDU, you need to try it! It's a great way for students to have lots of creativity and options to report or present what they know about a topic. It has plenty of capabilities to incorporate type, graphics, photos,…

I've used Quia.com to reduce my grading load and would like to use Glogster next year -- it looks like an indispensable tool for teachers today!

This is GREAT news! Exactly what I was waiting for. Now I can use the summer to think about some projects and ways to use it in class. Th

Very true...visually captivating presentations..I love the zoom in and zoom out effect. Prezi can be very useful in getting students to organize ideas or arrange things according to hierarchy. I got my ESL students to create a story using prezi....…

The great things about prezi is that it makes visually captivating presentations AND it is FREE for educators. I use it too.
Anjali Rajan replied to Jeff Williams's discussion 'Favorite Web Based Tools for the Class' in the group Web 2.0
Most of my favourite web based tools are already listed here. :-) Voicethread, vovox jaycut..and the list can go on and on...
Recently I tried www.prezi.com and found it interesting. I have started using it instead of PPTs. Example
I also find…

Yes -- the 3 bucks isn't much -- but, like you, I don't like that I am getting less than I have now...
I will check out Mixxt. I am thinking about Grou.ps (http://grou.ps/ ) or Spurz ( http://www.spruz.com/ ) ... Anyone tries either? Spurz…

Hi Carmin,
One free alternative I have found is Mixxt, at Mixxt.org, yet I have not tried it yet. Now that Ning is getting rid of its free plansI haven't decided what I am going to do yet... whether paying 2.95/month for something inferior to…
carmin karasic replied to Jeff Williams's discussion 'Favorite Web Based Tools for the Class' in the group Web 2.0
My favorite web based tools are Google Earth, VoiceThread, Google Docs, and Ning. (But I have to replace Ning, since it not going to be free much longer. Any suggestions?) I teach online 'technology in education' classes. My students are…

Have you tried Prezi? It is really cool.

Innovation and Creation: Some Thoughts
Posted on March 11, 2009 at 10:14am 0 Comments 0 Likes

If the person is a teacher, I automatically think that maybe they are suffering from the "Burnout" syndrome. You may know teachers experiencing this. Often times it manifests itself via complaining about administration, the students, fellow teachers, the school district office... anyone involved in the school - maybe even themselves, though not normally.
