Threading The Needle
Here are a few photos for my digital photo collage on VoiceThread. (Just click okay and then play the clips in this order--they are meant to go together.) I couldn't figure out how to actually put them together in a collage like the one that Paige made. I also commented on part of Paige's collage.
Earth Day Book Byte
Here is my booktalk/book plug for the books featured in our Earth Day display. Not the best booktalk ever created, but does it atleast grab your attention and make you curious?
Lights, Camera, Action!
Now you, too can make your own videos with Animoto! Below, (frame "Take II") is my Inquire "Info-mercial" made with animoto. I also made a longer version of my video using Windows Movie Maker which I shared with my Saturday Ed. Tech. Class.
Wiki Wiki Wiki
Nope, not a bad rap from the early 90s, but a Web 2.0 tool for sharing, collaborating, and publishing content to the web. At this point I don't have any real application for a wiki so I didn't create my own. But, I have used PB Wiki extensively in other courses. I also added content about Will Richardson to Mary's Web 2.0 Guru wiki.
While wikis may be good for quickly sharing information and editing that content to a certain extent, I have yet to find one that formats "nicely." If adding in a lot of text or imagery, be prepared for the published wiki product to not look quite as intended to a certain extent. In the past, I've used them as a long distance communication tool when working on group projects. This was helpful for conveying quick "sound bites" of information and sharing links, but beyond that, the tone and intent were lost to a certain extent, especially when formatting became problematic.
So, wiki users beware...attempting to convey information without vocal intonations and body language can be tricky enough, but if the formatting of your written work is also skewed, you may have a hard time getting your point across as intended.

Where's Waldo?
Okay, so not quite a web 2.o tool....but it's still a nifty video and you can track him using google earth. Matt Harding is proof that you don't have to be Flat Stanley (or a good dancer) to have a good time internationally! Rock on...
To see more of Matt's rock solid dance moves, and some pretty darn good outtakes, check out his website www.wherethehellismatt.com
