Stipple

By Anonymous -


Stipple is a new tool that is used to put pinmarks on any image. Stipple is similar to Thinglink.  Stipple allows the user to upload an image and then add pinmarks in the form of links, audio, video, text or social media.  

 So here is a  Stipple image with pinmarks to four blogs that I plan to follow in the new year.

And here are some great sites for Google Glass

Stipple also has a free app for creating interactive images on the go.

 I would be cautious when using Stipple with elementary students because some of the content created by others may not be appropriate.

Hi Deb, thanks for your post on how Stipple brings photos to life. We definitely want to be sensitive to content that may inappropriate for children. Please note that a user can "Report Photo" within stipple.com if it's deemed inappropriate and we have filters for removing adult content from any publicly visible areas.

More importantly, interactive images can be shown directly within any website, as you did for this post, which ensures that students are only exposed to your content.

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.

Regards,
Darr (VP Marketing, Stipple)

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. 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 ...

What is Twine? Perhaps you have had fun playing with "choose your own adventure" type stories, games or surveys. Social media has been buzzing with such surveys like this one: Which Disney Character Would Play You In The Movie of Your Life? Recently I came across Twine ( twinery.org )  for creating your own interactive stories, surveys or games. Creating a story is a simple as generating a flow chart such as this one: What makes Twine so great is that you only need to type text into a box and then put brackets around the word or words that you wish to have the next part of your story linked to.  Any words in brackets will automatically generate a new box on the flowchart. Watch this short video demo to see how a Twine is created: Click here to experience the Twine I created called, "What Kind of Teacher are You?"  I took the information to create my Twine from this site.  FYI, I'm not responsible for the type of teacher my Twin...
