Inspiration

Inspiration is a great way to graphically organize information for students who have difficulties organizing information for themselves. Inspiration has a kids version called Kidspiration as well that is more student focused. I greatly enjoyed making this web but the project as a tool for me use in the classroom is significantly time consuming however if I had free time I would be all over that!

Google docs wins again. For most likely to save the universe time and energy. This energy conservation tool allows for creation, modification, and transportation all without leaving the land of Google. O.K., in the real world this means that we teacher, citizens, whomever, can create a presentation using Google Docs on one computer, and then proceed to work on it from any computer anywhere with an internet connection. We can also invite collaborators so that we don't have to do all the work by ourselves. Additionally, it uploads nicely to any computer, flash drive, or directly to the internet such as into one's blog or other website. Really Google Docs should be recognized as a LEAD Platinum certified facility. Or at least energy saver of the year!

Digital collection activity

Collecting digital images to enhance learning is a wonderful advantage of the technology age. This collection is comprised of a picture I took on my digital camera while I was in England, a scanned image of my friends and I in old time-y dress, a clip art picture that was stored on my apple, a picture from the web of a student who has a learning disability's artwork, and a screen shot of my current favorite store anthropologie. These are five different modes of collecting digital images. Of course four of the five images are most probably copyrighted. Or all of them except my picture form England which you can pay ten cents per view of my photo via pay-pal as you leave my blog (Just kidding). I would like to acknowledge the sources: anthropologie, National Center for Learning Disabilities, The old timey photo place in Gatlinburg, TN, and Mac. The collection here is embedded from animoto, a great way to integrate images and music into one thirty-second clip for free.
