Tell me a story digitally

Who ever thought that there are so many ways to create digital stories and most of the options are free! During our session we looked at Xtranomal, Animoto, shwup, Photostory 3, Kerpoof, Myths & Legends and voice thread. Each had their own little way to enhance photos, video and stories.

After seeing all of these strategies did one stand out from the rest? Which if any will you look to add to your curriculum and how can it enhance student learning.

All of the cool people are in my PLN…. want to join?

I hope everyone enjoyed our session on Personal Learning networks. With all of the different mediums that educators are using to share their knowledge base it can be overwhelming. During our session we demonstrated podcasting, blogging, twitter, Google Reader, Pageflakes, webinars, presentation sharing, social networks and social bookmarking. It’s enough to make your head spin.

The key is to start small and build your learning network slowly. Find the one strategy that makes the most sense to you and let it grow. Did one of our strategies stick out to you? Which if any will you use to increase your professional development?
