Sites of Interest - October 4, 2008

I read about Flowgram and Vodpod in Stein Brunvand's Ed Tech in Teacher Ed blog.

Flowgram is a free program that combines web pages, documents, photos and voice comments into one interactive package. Users can control how they navigate through the flowgram. Teachers or students can create an educational flowgram and share the link or embed it in their blog.

Vodpod is free program that allows you to collect your favorite videos and then share the collection on your blog. I added the vodpod widget to my blog sidebar.

How I Spent My Weekend

My school recently purchased an Ed. Voicethread subscription. Voicethreads can be private or shared. I embedded mine in this post.You can add voice or text comments to each slide.

Imagine the different ways you can use this with your students!

Go to the Voicethread site and sign up for a free account. There are tutorials and a collection of projects.


Other resources:
The Voicethread 4 Education wiki has an extensive collection of student and teacher projects.

The Voicethread for Educators ning has resources, forum discussions and groups.

How I will use voicethread? For professional development!
