One of the presentations that I made this week was about having students create videos to demonstrate their knowledge of a topic. In that presentation one of the points that I stress is the need for students to create outlines of their videos before moving onto the technical aspects of constructing a video. Here are some tools for creating outlines and mind maps to plan video projects, podcasts, or essays. Quicklyst is a nice tool for taking notes and creating outlines. Quicklyst provides a simple outline template that you can use to take notes.

I often find myself in conversations with teachers and students about Internet search strategies. Often times the conversation reminds me that what's obvious to me is amazing to someone else . Last week I had that very experience as I taught a couple of teachers some search techniques that they are going to pass along to their students.

The new service is called Google Drive and it combines some of the best elements of Google Docs and Google Plus into one package. In fact, Google Docs is now a part of Google Drive. When you upload a file to your Google Drive account you can share it with anyone just like you can share any document in your Google Docs account.

Month in Review - April's Most Popular Posts

A new month has started but that doesn't mean we can't take a quick look back at the month of April. As I do every month I've compiled a list of the month's ten most read posts. Here are the most popular posts from April 2012: 1. Google Docs for Teachers - A Free eBook 2. How to Print Posters Using a Standard Printer 3. http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2012/05/month-in-review-aprils-most-popular.html#.UVcu8NF-P0M

Evernote in Education

Over the last couple of months Evernote has become my favorite tool for bookmarking websites and saving files. Evernote allows me to access my bookmarks and files from all of my devices whenever I'm connected to the Internet. I also like the tagging and sorting options that I have available to me in Evernote. Before using Evernote I used Google Bookmarks. While Google Bookmarks is good, Evernote's tagging and sorting options are much better. http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2012/01/evernote-in-education.html#.UVYSNNF-P0M

The Wordle of this list! (Click image to enlarge) One of the most popular posts on Edudemic in 2010 was The 35 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools Chosen By You and I felt it might be time for an update to that list for 2011. In order to put together a list of the best Web 2.0 classroom tools, I polled my Twitter followers, Facebook fans (are they still called fans? Likes?)

The 100 Best Web 2.0 Classroom Tools Chosen By You

It’s that time of year again when I start posting year-end “The Best….” lists. Coincidentally, this one is also the eight-hundredth “The Best…” list I’ve published! You can see them all here . I figured it was appropriate to make number 800 one that is likely to be the most popular post that I’ve published since I’ve begun this blog — the annual one highlighting The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education. As usual, in order to make this list, a site had to be:

I agree, you get out what you put in. It doesn't have to be your life's work. by loremipsem Dec 24

I like that you can follow people who you know will have interesting things to say and ignore the rest. by loremipsem Dec 23

I agree. If you do not find it useful. Don't use it. Otherwise it's a good way to connect with other teachers who are sharing their practice. by loremipsem Dec 22
