A fair(y)Use Tale

Edutecher - wow, wow, wow

I can't even remember how I came across this site, but it's super cool. There are tons of resources and links, I mean thousands... Too much to say and very little time! Been checking the site for over an hour and I can't get enough. Check it out: here's the link http://www.edutecher.net/index.php

Pixuffle along the lines of Jigzone!

And this one too is really cool! Along the same lines as jigzone. I was thinking that I can also use it as a pass time too!! Hahaha Nice though!

Jigzone rocks!

One of my colleagues just told me about this site and I had to just go and check it out. It's great and a wonderful way to use pictures as a warmer and springboard for a discussion or simply to get the ss thinking about the topic of the article if in a reading lesson or the topic of anything really. Great to show trainees how technology can be fun and follow pedagogy rather than all the way around.

Xtranormal - making your own movies

I remember being introduced to this tool early on when I was doing the CertICT course with the Consultants-e.com, but somehow I never really got to do anything with it. Yesterday a colleague of mine showed me a cool 3 min video he created for a session and so here I go again! It's super cool and adds that little extra to some discussion tasks in teacher training sessions on how to use ICT in the classroom!

And here's my first movie for an ICT course I taught last year! :-)

Emerging EdTech- cool site with lots of info!!!

This is a really cool site with a wealth of info I came across thanks to some posts in Tweetdeck. So much to look at, read and do to keep up to date! Lots of articles and links to resources, absolutely worth exploring!

Safeshare.TV - this is cool!

I was checking out Nick Peachey's Learning Technology Blog and came across this tool. It's really cool and easy to use and you don't have to download any software. You simply paste in the URL from YouTube and then click generate safe link. It also gives you the option to crop the video so as to see only the part you need for your lesson - even better! Nick's also prepared a video tutorial on how to do it, so do visit his blog!

Do try it out! Here's the link: http://www.safeshare.tv/

Bye for now,
