Make your own teleprompter

June 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Here’s another tool to help student presentations- make your own (free) teleprompter!  Copy the text and you are done!  Go to http://www.cueprompter.com/  to create your script. The site does not save the script- so I would save your text and just copy and paste when you are ready for the prompter.

Make the owl (or flower) talk!

Here's a site for the animations and posters.  While this site does have ads, you can make some interesting projects.  While some (like the owl above) can be embedded others need to be saved (the poster above).  To try out the site, click here.

Share those links!

June 29th, 2009 · No Comments

What’s better than tinyurlsSharetabs!  With one sharetab address, you  can share many links.  And the best part maybe how it displays on the screen.  The picture below is an example of a sharetab I created. 

Think how this would work in class.  You could create a sharetab for each project- I plan to use it this summer in the enrichment classes.  Special thanks to Steve Dembo for this tip at the DEN event.slide1.JPG

Here’s something perfect for summer- Trek Yourself.  All you need is a photo and this site.  Above is just a photo- I couldn’t get it to embed, but here is the url.  Think how the Do Now would work- you could have a different student trek’ed each day!
