Technology+Resources

Google Sites www.google.com/sites I recently (I am this very minute) started using Google Sites for collaboration. Google Sites is a wiki, but has more organizational tools then wikispaces. Google sites allows you to create subpages within pages and link to Google Calendar, Docs and such. At Hughes, for the grant I work on I created a wikispace for teachers to collaborate in designing projects, but no one ever used the wiki and I found that I was restricted with the usage of wikispaces since I couldn't create subpages. Also, the teachers have told me they would remember to go to a Google site rather than the wiki since they are using the sites for other things. Amy

I am going to post a variety of Tech Tools. The idea is for you to examine the Tech Tools and comment on how you might integrate the tool in the classroom. I will post a few ideas but each of you should as well. If you have a technology tool that you use and like to use, feel free to post here as well.I have decided to use the wiki so you may access this after the class is over. Enjoy!

Xtranormal Xtranormal (www.xtranormal.com) is feature-rich and dead simple to use online flash movie maker. Using Xranormal you can easily create fancy looking 3D video clips without any professional knowledge

One way that I thought this could be used in class is for students to create a script of a subject and then create a Xtranormal movie.

Sync.in Sync.in (http://sync.in/). is a web based word processor for people to collaborate in real-time. When multiple people edit the same document simultaneously, any changes are instantly reflected on everyone's screen.

I think this would be a great group activity. This way the instructor would know each member's contribution.
