Formative assessment apps How to ‘Chop’ a YouTube video and embed it into PowerPoint Posted on April 11, 2011 by davefoord Addition to this post made on 20/11/12 – if you are wanting to embed a cropped YouTube video into Moodle then visit YouTube is a wonderful source of videos that can be used very effectively within education, but quite often we only want to show a certain part of the video rather than the whole thing. There is now a free and very easy to use method for doing this called TubeChop, and the output from this can be embedded easily into PowerPoint. One of the great things with TubeChop is you don’t even have to create an account on it, so no passwords to remember (or forget!) Here is a screencast showing how easy this is to use. Here is an example of a Example Of TubeChop In PowerPoint. Although not shown in the screencast, TubeChop will also give you some embed code, so you can embed the chopped video into a blog, VLE or webpage. Like this: Like Loading...

Explain Everything When it comes to flexible iPad apps, nothing quite fits the bill like Explain Everything. Developed as a screencasting app (in my opinion, the best in the app store), I have recently found that I am using the app for anything but screencasting. 1. Image / Poster / Graphic / Diagram Creator: The way I find myself using Explain Everything these days is as a platform to create images or posters. 2. One of the most underutilized features in Explain Everything is the magnifying glass tool in the left hand menu. *Bonus Idea: Students can use the zooming feature when screencasting in Explain Everything as well. 3. With a combination of Explain Everything and Reflector that is running on a MacBook or PC Laptop, Explain Everything becomes a blank canvas that can be manipulated anywhere in the classroom. 4. Explain Everything has the ability to open a number of file types using the iPad “open in” feature.

Testmoz - The Test Generator IKT Förra veckan drog vi igång igen efter sportlovet! =D Härliga ungar som glatt studsade runt i vår fina lärmiljö. Vi började morgonsamlingen med uppgiften; Skriv allt du är bra på; egenskaper hos dig själv, fritidsintressen, ämneskunskaper, lärstilar, kompisegenskaper osv Fundera sedan på vad t ex "jag är bra på att pyssla" innebär. När de är klara med sitt "Detta-är-jag-bra-på-brev" så ska de fnula på hur de kan använda dessa egenskaper i sin skolvardag. Sen var det dags för matte med år 7. Vi har arbetat med bråk innan lovet och ska fortsätta med procent. För att påminna om de begrepp och metoder som vi har arbetat med så satt jag mig ner och planerade en kort repetition innan vi går vidare. Hmm... kändes inte helt rätt.... Getkahoot.com har varit ett av de verktyg som jag har lagt i min "detta-ska-jag-testa"-länkar och nu kändes det mycket lämpligt. I kahoot kan man skapa tre olika frågetyper; Frågesport med poäng (med ett korrekt svar), diskussionsfrågor och statistikundersökning.
