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 ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
