Interactive Presentations

I’ve but been looking at a actually interesting on work tool called Voicethread.

What's Voicethread?
Voice thread enables users to practise online presentations using their ain images. It also allows the creator to add together good or written text to the images as well as plough over access to other people to exit good or text comments on the presentation. This is a actually squeamish means of creating presentations that tin plough over notice interact as well as practise dialogue amongst an online audience.

Here’s a distich that I’ve created. I decided that I wanted to purpose this tool for a shape of students I learn inwards Second Life. I wanted them to explore diverse islands as well as accept snapshots of what they found. They would as well as hence live on able to upload these to Voicethread as well as tape good reports, which they could as well as hence percentage amongst the shape as well as exit comments on. I idea this would live on a adept means to larn them to actually concentrate on producing a high character fine tuned finished product, equally they would know that in that location was as well as audience for these presentations.

I created these ii presentations of examples of what I wanted them to do.

Example 1 This ane is a tour of Edunation II inwards Second Life.
Example 2 This ane is a see to Vassar Island as well as you’ll encounter that a few people cause got already left comments.

How practise I purpose it?
In social club to assistance them empathise how to purpose the tool I also created this flick tutorial.

I actually intend that this is a remarkable tool. It’s been peculiarly created for educators as well as hence it has some actually squeamish features.

How tin plough over notice I purpose it amongst my students?
Here’s a few other things I intend yous could larn students to practise which would assistance to prepare their linguistic communication abilities.

Ask as well as hence to upload some images of things amongst personal significance as well as practise a form of online demonstrate as well as tell.
Get students to practise as well as enjoin a even using pictures. If they cause got access to digital cameras, yous could larn the students to operate inwards pairs or pocket-size groups to gain a even together.
Upload ii images as well as inquire students to tape what they intend is the connective betwixt the ii images
Upload images for students to describe, such equally rooms or people etc.
Upload images of people speaking as well as inquire students to add together a dialogue. They could also add together text bubbles of what they intend the people are thinking
Ask students to question a fellow member of their household unit of measurement as well as hence upload an prototype of the somebody as well as enjoin close them.
Get students to upload pictures from approximately their town as well as practise a sort of interactive tourist guide
Upload some images of graphs as well as statistics as well as encounter if students tin plough over notice depict them appropriately
Upload some images amongst wrong descriptions as well as encounter if they tin plough over notice location as well as right the errors

This page is also good worth looking at: http://voicethread.com/classroom.php
It has some user guides which yous tin plough over notice download as well as also shows yous how to laid identities for your kids hence they don’t cause got to bring out whatsoever personal information.

I promise yous detect this useful as well as practise permit me know how yous purpose it.

Ms Give-And-Take Tutorial 1: Adding ‘Comments’

This is the kickoff inwards what I promise volition acquire a serial of tutorials on exploiting the pedagogy / learning potential of just about of the to a greater extent than mutual desktop applications similar MS Word. Like many people I’m a regular user of this application together with it’s belike the 1 I piece of job most, amongst the exception of my spider web browser.

Despite the amount of fourth dimension I convey spent using it, I’m oftentimes surprised to uncovering just about other useful toolbar or technique that I tin piece of job to brand life easier or my pedagogy to a greater extent than effective.

This kickoff tutorial shows how to piece of job the ‘comments’ characteristic that tin last works life on the ‘Reviewing’ toolbar.

The ‘comments’ characteristic allows yous to add together comments to the text of a document. These comments don’t look inwards the text itself, but tin last seen on covert whenever yous hover the cursor over the business office of the text that the comment refers to.

To detect out how it works, Watch a tutorial (450k Flash movie)

What I similar nearly it

This tool enables me to start a dialogue amongst my students nearly their piece of job on the actual piece of job itself, without interfering amongst the period of time of the text. I’ve tried using tracking earlier together with works life that it tin shortly acquire a existent mess, thus present I much prefer to piece of job this ‘comments’ feature.
It doesn’t add together greatly to the file size thus yous tin electronic mail documents dorsum together with forth equally yous review together with re –review them amongst your students.
It’s an ideal tool for encouraging a ‘Process writing’ approach, equally students don’t convey to re-write their compositions every fourth dimension they demand to alter it.

A few ideas for using it amongst students

You tin piece of job it to add together explanations of hard words
Students tin add together translations or explanations to words inside the text
You tin comment on students’ piece of job together with propose improvements, or ameliorate all the same they tin piece of job it to comment on each other’s work.
You tin add together questions to a text at real precise points. These could last comprehension questions that yous would similar to ask, or could last questions nearly a text they convey produced which encourage them to write to a greater extent than or add together farther item or description
You could only piece of job it for fault correction or to betoken out weaknesses inwards the text.
You could construct upwards dialogue amongst students nearly the text, past times adding questions to it or squall for students to add together questions together with and then respond etc.

None of the ideas inwards a higher house are just revolutionary together with they could all last done amongst pen together with paper. The payoff though, that I convey found, of using this method on a calculator is that students seem much to a greater extent than willing to choke dorsum together with revise piece of job if it doesn’t involve rewriting text. After all the existent procedure of writing that nosotros desire to prepare together with aid is the human activity of creation, non the physical procedure of forming letters.

If anyone else uses this characteristic inwards other ways, I’d dearest to withdraw heed nearly your ideas.

Phonology Tin Last Fun Too Free

Phonetics Focus is a actually wonderful novel costless resources produced past times Cambridge English linguistic communication Online Ltd.

Basically it is a collection of interactive multimedia Flash based games together with resources that tin hold upwards accessed through the CEO website at http://cambridgeenglishonline.com/Phonetics_Focus/

Creating An Interactive Cloze Text

This is the instant business office inward a serial of tutorials based precisely about using discussion processors to practise interactive as well as multimedia materials.

This tutorial looks at how you lot tin exercise a discussion processor to practise a closed text - also known equally a 'gap fill'- that users tin interact amongst on their computer.

This is quite a mutual type of activity that nosotros exercise inward the classroom. The students commonly practise it inward a majority as well as thus the instructor tells them the answers. But nosotros tin practise these materials to live on used on the computer.

Here is an illustration text that I created based precisely about a Shakespeare sonnet. Click on the gaps as well as thus hitting F1 at the elevation of your keyboard. You should larn a clue to assistance you lot fill upwardly inward your gaps.

Example: Sonnet 130

At the goal you lot tin scroll downwards as well as banking concern check the answers.

Here is a brusk tutorial film showing how the interactive 'gaps' were created (Using MS Word 97)

Tutorial movie: Adding assistance text

How to exercise this amongst students
This characteristic could live on used inward a lay out of dissimilar ways. You could exercise the text to give the students:

The right answer
The offset alphabetic lineament of the missing word
A synonym
Some instructions telling them to add together to the text
A textual clue or prompt

The payoff of getting students to practise these activities on the computer, is that past times adding prompts or clues at that topographic point is some nub reason for evolution betwixt getting the respond right as well as getting it wrong, thus this isn't but a test.

Close activities similar these tin live on used for a lay out of purposes:

Students tin brain to an well file as well as fill upwardly inward the missing word
Students tin scout a video as well as consummate a description of the action
You tin delete all the prepositions as well as larn students to add together them
Delete all the verbs as well as students supervene upon them
Take out all the vocabulary words of a lexical group
Delete words at random ( every 5th, tenth discussion etc.)

Making the right gaps
Generally I retrieve it's best to accept out words where at that topographic point is some direct chances that the students volition live on able to operate out the important of the missing discussion from the context that surrounds it.

Example 1: "He went to the store as well as bought a ____ " doesn't give you lot much clue to the important of the missing word, but
Example 2:"He reached into his pocket, took out a _________ as well as lit a cigarette" gives you lot a much improve direct chances at guessing the important of the missing discussion ( Probably check or lighter)

The same tin live on truthful of grammatical words.

Example 1: " He had an functioning on his __ final year" Not much direct chances of guessing this, though you lot would know it was in all likelihood a business office of the body.
Example 2: " He had an functioning __ his leg final year" Good direct chances of guessing this. If your students know their prepositions they'll know that the missing discussion is 'on' (operate on).

Hope you lot honour this useful. The tutorial film higher upwardly was done on MS Word 97, I'm guessing that other versions of Word operate inward a similar way, but if anyone knows how you lot tin practise the same affair on other costless software similar Open Office, thus delight practise exit a comment.

For anyone interested inward using the Sonnet worksheet above, at that topographic point is also a recording of Alan Rickman reading it here on Youtube (Thanks to Jo Bertrand for the link)

Interactive Multiple Alternative Activities

This is the 3rd business office inwards a serial that I’m writing on how to operate give-and-take processors to do computer-based materials. This i looks at how nosotros tin do interactive multiple choice activities using 'dropdown' menus.

Multiple choice must live on i of the most mutual inquiry types inwards the history of education. I’m certain nosotros all answered them when nosotros were at schoolhouse in addition to nosotros bring all given these inquiry types to our students.

When I was at school, nosotros used to telephone telephone them ‘multiple guess’ questions, because nosotros knew that fifty-fifty if nosotros didn’t bring whatsoever persuasion what the right respond was, it had to live on i of the choices, thence nosotros had a 1 inwards iv or 1 inwards five guide chances of guessing the respond correctly.

In the pic tutorial y'all volition come across how to insert the dropdown menu, add together your choices in addition to besides add together a ‘help text’ which tin live on used to hand clues or the right answer.

Dropdown tutorial movie

Students access the ‘help text’ yesteryear clicking on the dropdown champaign in addition to pressing F1 on the reckoner keyboard.

Here’s document alongside but about interactive fields in. Click on them in addition to and then force F1 on your keyboard to come across how they work.

Dropdown examples

There are a hit of ways y'all tin hand clues

Direct students to a business office of the text
Remind them virtually fourth dimension relationships (for verb tense exercises)
Remind them of context
Remind them virtually business office of speech communication or give-and-take morphology
Give them pronunciation clues (it sounds like)
Give a translation
Remind them of the unit of measurement of the coursebook / lesson when y'all covered the topic

Adding clues, rather than right answers, volition assistance to brand the exercises developmental rather than a assay of cognition / memory.

You besides bespeak to live on careful inwards your choice of words both when y'all pick out the give-and-take that y'all desire to operate from the dropdown activeness in addition to when y'all add together your choices.

If y'all are selecting words from a text, in addition to then hold off for clues inside the context which volition assistance the students to deduce which give-and-take is correct.

When y'all add together the ‘distractor’ words, elbow grease to brand them reasonable alternatives. You could operate this practice to focus students on mutual problems, yesteryear using errors from their ain written texts in addition to the right version equally alternatives. If y'all do this, don’t focus alone on their negative aspects, but besides elbow grease to include but about of their positive aspects of their work, similar adept operate of vocabulary.

Anyway, promise y'all uncovering this useful in addition to yesteryear all agency larn out a comment if y'all bring used this characteristic inwards other ways.

Microsoft's Gratis Learning Content Evolution System

When Microsoft firstly giving stuff away for free, it ever makes me curious, as well as when I spotted this gratis LCDS (Learning Content Development System) a spell dorsum I decided to download it as well as give it a try.

If similar me you've never had the patience (or the fourth dimension as well as money) to genuinely main a tool similar Flash, but similar the thought of creating interactive materials that tin run online (SCORM compliant to run inward an LMS), thus this could hold out a handy tool for you. I spent the best business office of a solar daytime working out how to operate it as well as creating some materials amongst it for a instructor preparation session as well as yesteryear the goal of the solar daytime I had 2 'modules' each of iv -5 unlike action types combining images, audio, video as well as swf animation. Considering that I hadn't used this earlier as well as I had to genuinely write all the materials to pose into it, I intend that's pretty skillful for simply i day, as well as having pose the fourth dimension into learning the program, I'm pretty certain that my side yesteryear side efforts volition hold out much quicker.

What I liked close it

It wasn't hard to larn how to use. The interface is quite intuitive as well as I didn't demand to consult the assist or whatever back upwards documentation.
It's all signal as well as click, no programming languages to learn.
The results hold off quite professional
It's SCORM compliant
It has some overnice chore types. These are a few of my favourites:

This i is grouping type action played against a timer. Users bring to click the right bucket to driblet each particular into.

When Microsoft firstly giving stuff away for gratis Microsoft's gratis Learning Content Development System

This is i of my favourites, it's called 'Adventure' but I know it every bit a reading maze. User are shown a province of affairs as well as given some options, They thus meet the lawsuit of the alternative they guide as well as bring to brand some other selection as well as thus on until they discovery the 'correct' means to resolve th problem. These tin hold out genuinely complex to write as well as arrange, but this i was quite slow to practise as well as to review as well as brand changes. I was also able to add together unlike images to each page.

Another chore type I liked was this tile flip activity. It's a new variation on pelmanism, but it combines the matching pairs amongst a form of truthful faux activity. Basically each tile has a truthful contestation on i side as well as a faux i on the other, as well as the user has to work upwards rows of truthful statements. They also bring a express amount of cards they tin plough to acquire it right as well as if they transcend the issue of turns they bring to firstly all over again.

Lastly, I liked that yous tin also prepare tasks using either video or swf files. This is i I created using a Flash tutorial as well as the built inward Note taking business office of the interface.

What I wasn't thus certain about

It entirely seems to back upwards swf as well as wmv files for video, which is a flake annoying, peculiarly for MAC users.
When I came to 'publish' / upload the materials to run online, it turned out that they wouldn't piece of work without beingness uploaded to an LMS (with its ain viewer)
You demand IE vii amongst Silverlight installed to stance the files (though at that spot does seem to hold out a means to configure the files to run inward Flash instead, which I'm assuming would allow yous to stance them inward Firefox too).

Despite all of this, Microsoft's LCDS does seem to bring huge potential for people similar me who fighting amongst coding, but desire to attain something that looks skillful as well as industrial plant well.

If yous piece of work inward an establishment that has its ain LMS as well as yous desire to digitise some shape materials to run online, thus it could good hold out worth looking at every bit a inexpensive (free) solution.

If you'd similar to attempt out the materials I created for preparation teachers inward the operate of information technology as well as evaluating unlike chore types, yous tin download the null file of the whole session (9.4Mb) from here.

As I said inward a higher house though, you'll demand to bring MS's Silverlight installed, thus become to the file named 'wrapper.htm' as well as opened upwards it to start out working through the materials.

If yous desire to download the gratis LCDS as well as bring a play yourself, thus become here: https://www.microsoft.com/learning/tools/lcds/default.mspx

I'd hold out genuinely interested to listen from anyone else who's tried this, peculiarly if they've managed to acquire some working examples upwards online, thus practise driblet me a work as well as part your experiences.
