Experiment Google Custom Search Engine | The Groovy Librarian - Teaching in the 21st Century Today I have been experimenting with Google Custom Search Engine. As a teacher librarian and educator I thought it was about time that I learnt to build a search engine that is customised with content, or a collection of sites/pages, on a particular topic(s) for a class/year level. What I liked is that the search engine can be shared by a a link or by embedding it onto a class blog or wiki. Building a customised search engine was EASY. 1. You need to have a Google Account and sign in. 2. Go to the Google Custom Search Engine page and click “Create a Custom Search Engine”. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Yes, it’s that easy. In addition, custom search engines can be collaborative.
joitoelpintor | Just another WordPress.com site Histoire-Géographie et Education Civique au collège knovio – Transforma powerpoint em apresentação com conteúdo sincronizado Knovio é uma fantástica ferramenta que nos permite realizar apresentações usando o vídeo como protagonista. A ideia é poder mostrar um vídeo e uma apresentação de forma simultânea, sincronizando os momentos para que apareça o conteúdo adequado no momento que o desejamos. No exemplo que podemos ver em sua homepage um dos responsáveis pelo sistema aparece em um vídeo comentando suas funções ao mesmo tempo que uma apresentação online avança mostrando o texto que o apresentador anuncia. Veja abaixo, quando a apresentação já está carregada e podemos começar a gravar o vídeo: Um recurso fantástico para uso acadêmico e profissional, permitindo divulgar cursos, promover produtos, apresentar aplicações… uma infinidade de usos em diferentes categorias profissionais. No momento se encontra na fase beta fechada, mas pode solicitar convite em sua homepage (em alguns casos estão demorando menos de 1 hora para enviar).
