PREZI It was an eye-opener for me the first time I used it, I kept trying to arrange my ideas into neat little squares (like on presentations) and it made me THINK. It's one big canvas with no up or down, it's zooms, it's simple. My…

I have just added to my August Newsletter of free internet tools for teachers. It is not as slick as Inspiration, but with almost non-existent school budgets, this would be a semi-decent substitute. Denise www.ellteacherpros.com (join the email…

I would suggest gmail accounts for a more permanent e-mail. Recently I discovered an intriguing option for a temporary e-mail address: http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html. You can set them up with a temporary account to access the tool…

I've shared my experiences and resources for podcasting in my blog: http://yoursmarticles.blogspot.com/2009/05/podcast-year-in-review-project.html For music soundtracks, I actually found TONS of midi sites and then converted them to .mp3 files.…

Mary Howard replied to Donelle's discussion 'What's the Best Platform to Showcase Student Work?'

With your interest in Technology Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
