Technology for PBL Teacher Page

|| Greetings from the World wiki [|Glogster] [|Scratch] ||  || Revisited [|netvibes aggregator used at ISB]- will probably stay with using blog roll for links to student blogs for remainder of the year. Seems to have potential as a tool to pull together lots of links. Requested membership to the wiki. May use with TR students. Uses Glogster postermaker.
 * Name ||  || __Web 2.0 Tool [Link if possible]__ ||   || Describe a project linked to your curriculum and the good, the bad and the ugly of using this tool ||
 * Erin Stoen ||  || tumblr ||   || Blogging site - just got started so no major information ||
 * Sherri Huff ||  || Wiki and Wiki Page ||   || Could see using it to give __students__ project ideas and direct to good websites to help with projects. Frustration finding request to be a member! Learning difference of Wiki and Wiki page!! ||
 * Mary Hilger ||  || Wiki Page ||   || I was a little frustrated. Need a lot more practice. ||
 * Michelle Griswold ||  || Wiki Page ||   || Ok. I have had practice with it already.
 * Jimmy Roberts ||  || wiki page ||   || I am getting it! I created a i-google acount, g-mail __account__, and wiki. ||
 * Michelle Hathaway ||  || wiki page ||   || I definitely need more practice, but I created a g-mail account, went to igoogle and became a member of the tech for pbl site! ||
 * Sherri Huff ||  || Prezi ||   || The tutorial and "Get Started" info is pretty easy to follow. Good for students creating project products. I was able to add a YouTube video to the Prezi, but it came with the popup advertisement. Not sure how to keep that from being there! Looks like you can add sound, but have to save in specific formats (FLV or SWF) and not sure the flexibility. ||
 * Amanda Clark ||  || Prezi ||   || I agree Sherri. The "Get Started" tutorial was fantastic and definitely worth the time. I think I am ready for the 2nd tutorial after lunch. ||
 * Amanda Clark ||  || Animoto ||   || I created two videos using Animoto. The free/lite version allows 30 second videos but anything else requires a membership (the bad). The "good" is that you can drag your pictures and videos around and Animoto creates the video/presentation for you. Seems like a potential time saver. The "ugly" is that you have to send your work "away" and Animoto sends you an email back with the final product. This was less than 2 minutes for my 30 second presentations but seems a little iffy for longer presentations. ||

[|My First Glog] - made with free version. They have an EDU version and market to schools. Fairly basic perhaps - could be viewed as a one page power point I suppose - didn't figure out if it scaffolded.... Found some of [|my old stuff] Want to play with it again. Maybe have kids do some modifications to existing ones...... ||  ||
 * Sherri Huff ||  || xtimeline ||   || Seems like it would be a neat way for students to present the history of any event. Don't have their tour feature created yet. After researching, many suggest using other websites! ||
 * Sherri Huff ||  || Dipity ||   || Another free with signin timeline website. Not seeing any instructions, but I like the timeline idea. Just need to find one comfortable with that has instructions! Searched for some help. Not too difficult to create a timeline--has 3 different views. ||
