Zoom - Record Video Conferences in HD Zoom.us is a great service for hosting and recording video conferences in high definition. I was introduced to it by Rod Berger when he proposed using to record segments for the #askRichardByrne video series that we're producing. I'm glad he recommended it because it is a fantastic tool. Zoom.us allows you to record your video in a side-by-side format to equally feature both people in the recording or switch between featuring one person more than another in the video (click here for an example).

Think macro: record actions in Google Sheets to skip repetitive work (Cross-posted from The Keyword) Since their debut nearly 40 years ago, spreadsheets have remained core to how businesses get work done. From analyzing quarterly revenue to updating product inventory, spreadsheets are critical to helping companies gather and share data to inform quicker decisions—but what else can you do if they’re in the cloud? We’ve been focused on making Google Sheets better for businesses for this reason, which is why we’ve recently added new features to help teams analyze and visualize their data. Today we’re adding more updates to Sheets, including a way to record macros in the cloud to automate repetitive tasks, as well as more formatting options. Check it out.Record macros in Sheets, skip mundane tasks We want to help companies automate work by approaching macros differently: cloud-first.

Webtools: No Registration Needed for Students Welcome to my list of webtools that don’t require student registration. This started off as a simple curation for myself and has ballooned into something that I never thought would get this big. And it is still growing.

10 Easy Steps to Leading Professional Development In Your Own School Professional Development is a term that is thrown around a lot. From my experience, most of the "professional development" that has been implemented in my school district, hasn't really been professional development. We like to call "reading articles" and "mandatory staff training" professional development, but it really isn't. The National Staff Development Council (NSDC) defines professional development as "a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to improving teachers’ and principals’ effectiveness in raising student achievement."

10 Apps For Connected Educators - Getting Smart by Alison Anderson - education apps, social media We teach in our own schools, cities, states and even countries but because of the magical power of social media we have met “our people” – you know, those fellow teachers out there who think like you do, share your goals and enthusiasm, make teaching fun – even from hundreds of miles away. How do you connect on a daily basis? Sure, there are tweets, pins and status updates but we can do better than that! Peerdeck April 28, 2015 Pear Deck is a nice app that allows you to plan and build interactive presentation decks directly from your Google Drive. One distinctive feature of Pear Deck is that it includes some amazing formative assessment tools that allows you to engage the entire class with a series of questions on the content of the presentation. When you present through Pear Deck you are actually creating a live session that students can join from their own devices. As a teacher, you have full control of the flow of the presentation and using your tablet you can even easily move in the class while going through the slides in your projector screen.Pear Deck has a variety of unique interactive features (e.g. draggable, drawing, text or number, multiple choice…etc) that enable students to actively participate in your presentation and respond to your questions. Students responses can be shared in realtime and anonymously on classroom projector or interactive whiteboard.

Bring Your Own Device, Dog, & Deconstruction of Literature: Shall We Play a Game (& Learn)? Since chatting with Tom Driscoll via Google Hangout and Brian Germaine at the EdSurge RIDE event in the Fall, meeting up with Chris Aviles at Techspo14, viewing Mr. Lewis' Edmodo Webinar on Gamification, and engaging with my #TeamMAITs in class, I'm intrigued by the didactic nature of games. I've been thinking about how to use gamification with my students to restructure the learning activities to mimic aspects of a video game that encourage student involvement in the classroom. Using a simplistic approach, I decided not to go full tilt with a backstory and XP spreadsheets and instead tried this out by first changing how I deliver content to the students. Because gamification promotes blended-flipped learning, behaviorism conditioning techniques and self-paced instruction, I'm hopeful that this instructional design will help meet the needs of some of my lower-level, reluctant learners.
