Week 6 Tool Exploration

I spent some time last week looking through the Top 20 list. I tried a few of them last week and will continue to work through some of them this week. I set up a wall on Wallwisher and have included the link. It is nice that the creator can approve the comments before everyone can view them. I'm not sure if I would use this in class, if I was already having students comment on a blog site, but it is a simple and fun site.

I made a short movie using xtranormal. It is a fun tool to play with and would give an interesting look to a short presentation. I can see students enjoying making a project with this tool.




This week I also created a "In Plain English" video on osmosis and how cells deal with osmosis. I plan on adding it to my classroom blog for my final project. I have also included it here. I recorded it with our camcorder and a tripod. Next time, I would try to make the print in focus a bit more and zoomed in. I wanted to show everything in one frame, so it ended up to be a little smaller than I originally wanted.
