What about creating a presentation on Google Docs? ...seems like that would work very well. ...certainly would be able to collaborate in real time.
I use comic life with my students to create storyboards with photos and caption of script that they will expand upon later for voice overs or dialogue in the movie. They love the ease of using it and the sound effects.
that's great use of Elluminate Anne. I've begun using it with my techie kids (ICT Club) in Years 5/6 at Mansfield PS. We've only had a couple of goes in there so far but the kids have been amazing. Some playing with the tools of course was needed ...
Oh This is wonderful!

Amazing connections from classroom20
Tonight I was on the computer late at night, trying to get organized for my two days in Melbourne, when a foreign language popped up on my screen, from my skype window. However, the text was in English and my first name was used. I quickly realised that this must be my newly acqu… Continue

Best tool for publishing student work....
Blogging, blogging, blogging..
So, was my reply to a query on classroom2.0 recently about the best tool for online student publishing. The lively discussion has centred primarily around blogs, wikis and nings but I would like to justify in this post, the use of blogging as the number 1 tool.
A student blog is a far more personal interactive website than any of the others. It may be used for journal entries and for publishing school work across many subject areas. It becomes the student's own w… Continue

The power of blogging for students
There have been so many success stories for my students with blogging but yesterday's example is one never to be forgotten. One of my year 10 boys has a learning disorder - he is a nice student but completes little in traditional subject areas-never a behaviour problem just rarely completes anything. Over the last two years he has been in my information technology classes as multimedia, photography and digital storytelling suit his learning styles. On commencing a blog, he was proud to upload so… Continue

My precious clustrmap
My poor little map, you started to break out in spots
Then I realised they that they were in fact good dots,
Somone was actually visiting me
So I started writing with glee!!
Giving you prime spot I put you right up at the top
But now that you are so red, you are at the bottom
However, even there you are never forgotten.
Once I had learned how to add widgets to my blog, I inserted a clustr map. The sheer delight and excitement of red dots appearing have to be experienced to be belie… Continue

Where to start with web2.0
I was asked to present at a conference for regional teachers in SW Victoria, Australia today. The conference was called "It is a digital thing" and was held at Deakin University in Warrnambool. My topic was 'where to start with web2.0' so I am sharing the powerpoint presentation that I spoke along to, for any interested parties. Please note that these are my personal opinions and based on my relatively brief experience in its use.

Jon Freer said… - I am fairly new to all of this. Internet savvy yes, but web 2.0 and the learningprocess implied by it is new to me. My goal is to become very good at it. Perhaps you could point me in a direction. Although I have started to use some aspects inmy class, right now I am most interested in developing a good system for the faculty to communicate adn collaborate on issues that come up. Time is scarce and we have been going through a particularly trying time. I am looking at a ning like this one, but am wondering about any pitfalls and how to avoid them. Mastering a wiki seems like it would also be helpful. Any advice you cangive would be appreciated (I'll post this to the general forum as well.)

Linda Shimon said… - Hi Anne,
I'm back. I haven't had the chance to check out my page since the last time we chatted. I still can't change my picture. I did notice, though, that my page does not have an upload button. The browse button gets the photo I want, but there isn't anything like an OK or UPLOAD button to click on. When I download to my Wiki, I have the browse and OK buttons. When I download to my school files I have the browse and upload buttons. Could this be the problem? If so, is there a setting I haven't hit?
