As we wrap up LIBS602, we are submitting presentation proposals for a library conference in Williamsburg in November. This week we are exploring alternatives to Powerpoints and Keynotes.
Thinglink.com: Thinglink allows users to create interactive posters by placing hotspots on an image. Hotspots consist of pictures, sounds, videos, and plain text links. I created a board game for my students to help them review punctuation. The website was fun and very easy to use. Students of all ages should be able to create and share their own Thinklinks very easily. Two thumbs up from me!
Blendspace: Blendspace allows teachers to easily create interactive lessons using available resources as well as an option to add your original content. I selected a broad category (figurative language), and I was able to compile a lesson that uses pictures, sounds, videos, and practice activities very quickly and efficiently. Blendspace also has an option for teachers to create classes and interactive quizzes for students. I hesitate using this for secure testing, but it seems like a great resource for exit tickets, etc. Another two thumbs up from me!
