DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: Tools and Technologies for Effective Classrooms Classrooms should be fundamentally thoughtful places, environments where students are taught a wide range of higher order conceptual skills to complement the traditional basics of reading, writing, and computation. ~ Terry Roberts, Director of the National Paideia Center Learning is the Adventure of What Can Be How do you think your students would take to becoming an animation movie producer and director? Can you think of ways in which your students could use the animation creator to focus on their ideas? What kind of “higher order conceptual skills” will the students use to show they understand what you want them to learn? I am a “learn by doing” person. Let me give you a little background information about how I came across, www.xtranormal.com. I can see kids writing their own scripts, interpreting the scripts of others, demonstrating character development, answering post-Seminar questions in a collaborative setting, and hundreds more ideas. In their own words,
Games iMovie Movie Trailers across the content areas I have finally had time to work with iMovie movie trailers on the iPad, and it is so much fun! A movie trailer is a perfect summarizing activity. It can also act as a “teaser” as an introduction to a presentation or student paper. A movie trailer includes many of the literacy areas. The movie trailer component of the iMovie app for the iPad includes several themes to pick from. The first step in making an iMovie movie trailer is taking a look at the script and storyboard pages. One great site by Timothy Jefferson includes PDFs of all of the theme scripts so students can work things out on paper first, as they are going through the development process. Some ideas for using movie trailers across the curriculum include: You can also find many tutorials which include instructions on the process of using iMovie movie trailers on the iPad From MacLife (written)From Make Use Of (written)From Pasco Schools (video)From Jim Gates (video)

One of the things I learned about are the different options for rotating sprites, and the need to “design from the beginning” with your sprites and scenes “reset” to their desired, starting values and positions. This project took Rachel and I an hour and a half to complete. That’s a lot like life. On this day..

The iPad does, however, have its share of flaws ranging from those hardware related (proprietary connections that work with Apple and only Apple products), to software (if you want an iPad, you must go through iTunes). And one of the educators’ biggest gripes with the iPad is its lack of storage space. While PCs and laptops are now measuring their size in terabytes, and Android tablets play nicely with PCs–offering drag-n-drop support and USB integration, among other supporting features, iPads have an uphill battle here. Identify Your Needs There are a variety of explanations here for why Apple knowingly went for such small storage spaces. So what other options are there? What do you want to do, Store, Share, or Both? Apple’s Recommendation 1. 5 & 6.
Logiciel « Images Actives » Cet article présentait la version expérimentale d’Images Actives. La version 1.0 est lancée le 30 novembre 2011 et est disponible sur le site : Du schéma statique au schéma interactif Des SVT à l’histoire des arts, toutes les disciplines ont recours à des schémas comportant des légendes : aux différentes parties d’une image, on associe des textes porteurs d’une information. Les supports iconographiques peuvent être très divers : carte de géographie, coupe d’un organisme vivant, graphique représentant des données statistiques, photographie d’un paysage, d’un bâtiment, d’un dispositif technique, voire d’une mallette de couteaux de cuisine ! Images Actives permet de transformer un schéma statique en une animation interactive. On peut parler d’un outil « d’augmentation » au sens où le document iconographique se voit doté d’une couche d’interactivité. Des exemples de réalisations peuvent être consultés sur le site DocSciences : Divers modes d’utilisation
Reading How to Connect Apple TV to an LCD Projector.docx Capzles – digital storytelling and presentation tool Capzles is an interesting digital storytelling tool that allows users to tell a story using pictures, video clips, audio tracks and text. Users are given the ability to place this media, called “moments”, together chronologically in a timeline. Creating a “Capzle” is easy via the website. You can upload photographs and videos or blog directly onto the site. There is also a Capzle iPhone app which lets you upload images from your phone straight into a Capzle. I had a quick play with the site and produced a short test capzle : View my Test Capzle Here Adding video is tricky in that you cannot just import files from YouTube. The terms of the Capzle website state that under 13s cannot register, so this is something to use with children above that age. For educational use, this is another tool which could be used to produce simple presentations – collating images, videos and text into one presentation document.
