EduCanon

By Anonymous -

There's a new tool in town and it is called eduCanon.  eduCanon is used to build interactive video lessons.  It looks like an awesome tool for the flipped classroom or for adding questions to a video.  eduCanon is similar to Teachem.

 Here are some of the features:
1.  Choose a video from YouTube, Vimeo or Teacher Tube.
2.  Add multiple choice questions during the video and then choose which answer is correct.
3.  Get accounts for your students.  (eduCanon can help set up accounts if you don't want to have to do it or have students to it)
4.  Assign the video to your classes.
5.  Students get instant feedback when they answer a question.
6.  eduCanon won't let students fast forward during a video to ensure that they watch the whole thing.
7.  Teachers can see student performance.

 Here is a short introductory video:


And here is a video I made questions for using eduCanon about Martin Luther King Jr.  

 Teachers can share their interactive video lessons with other teachers and through social media.  eduCanon works on an iPad and on all browsers.  Click here for FAQ.

 My first impression of eduCanon is very, very good.  I created my first interactive video in just minutes.  I hope you give this great site a try!  I'm going to try it in our classroom this week.

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
