Thanks for the idea John. I have always used PowerPoint and have sometimes found the videos to not work. I have only just begun to play with the idea of uploading my presentations into Google docs.

Suchi - I agree. I regularly use video clips from YouTube of Google video in my Earth Science classes. It usually involves a lot of time on my part previewing the video and ensuring it meets the objective I have for my students. I have found,…

Have you checked out Mobl21, www.mobl21.com- a great platform that we use at school for one of our classes. It is primarily for informal learning. Though We are enrolled in a Bachelors program, I am sure this will be useful for K12 as well. And…

Been reading this thread quite a few times with interest. One for the things which can make the plethora of educational content out on the web more relevant and impactful is cataloging, mapping and reducing to a relevant subset. We at attano are…

Of Mobile Devices, Apps, Games and Casual Mobile Learning

Posted on March 27, 2010 at 6:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

With fresh inspiration from a course I just finished here at Stanford on "Casual Learning Technologies for the iPhone" in which we designed casual apps for kids and adults, I've authored a 2-part article for Smartbean. The first is a brief discussion of research on the power of learning through games (including Gee's principles on "good learning" with well-designed games) -… Continue

Redefining "success" to raise heathier, happier kids

Posted on October 7, 2009 at 8:51am 1 Comment 0 Likes

I recently authored this piece for the SmartBean magazine, and thought I'd share it here - Redefining “Success” to Raise Healthier, Happier Kids. I think it's an important message that needs to get out, so that everyone can work together to de-stress our middle and high schoolers - not just parents, but teachers, schools and communities as well.

Get your own Virtual Classroom

With you interest in education technology, web apps including Google, and the independence you mainatain as an education technologist, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform, both are web platforms which, I think, match your interest in web apps and platforms and excellent for online learning and collaboration. Also each have feature rich free basic service that seems to work for most people.
