Class Presentations: The First Half (11/3)

Today we saw:

Alan Scharman

• Very cool math lesson about perfect squares utilizing all different Web 2.0 tools, including: screencasts, comics, videos, a wiki, etc

Jackie Buckner

• Lesson about Expected v Unexpected Behavior using MS Movie Maker, Voki, etc

Sarah Sykes

• A comprehensive lesson about the different features of nonfiction vs fiction books.  Uses Voki, Wordles, and Voice Thread. I wasn't aware of Voice Thread, so it was cool to see it in action.  I'll definitely check it out further.

Linda Lorman 

• A lesson about Chinese culture, especially about how to make a Chinese coil pot.  This lesson used a very cool Powerpoint, which was automated and narrated using Jing.  So very cool.

Janette Witschel

•  An intriguing Spanish lesson about Hispanic Heritage Month, utilizing Youtube, Voki, Vocaroo, Screenr, Photopeach, TeacherTube, and Zooburst.  Very neat activities for the students!

Maureen Brawley

• Another Spanish lesson- this time about verbs.  This lesson features Flickr, Prezi, and Audioboo.  I wasn't aware of Audioboo, so this was an introduction for me- I like it.

Leigh Ricci-Williams

•  A French lesson about favorite meals (hard to sit through this close to dinner!).  :)  This used many tools, including Prezi, Pixton, Flickr, Photopeach, Audioboo, and Youtube.  I loved that the annotation feature of Flickr was used!

Gloria Lehan

• A lesson about the novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.  This lesson was very comprehensive and included a wiki that was full of different resources that students could use as they explore the book.  Some of the resources utilized Prezi, Wordle, Audioboo, a screencast, Glogster, and Youtube.

All in all, such a great night of presentations.  The way that some of my classmates have utilized the different tools we have learned (and some that we haven't!) is quite mind blowing.  I'm looking forward to next week's class... although not my presentation so much.  ;)
