[|PhotoPeach] [|Technology Rubric K-2] [|Technology Rubric 3-5] CONFERENCE 2009 - Thanks Kathleen! **Oodles of Googles Session with Sheri Gunville and Angie Lysitza**1. This session focused on selecting quality websites for our students. 2. We learned about search parameters such as +, -, " ",OR, AND, etc.3. We learned to narrow our searches by the type of file we are looking for, such as ".swf" for files containing animations or applets, ".ppt" for powerpoint files, ".jpeg" for photographic images, ".pdf" for portable document format, ".doc" for word processing documents, File extensions are used by your computer to identify how the file is to be used and what programs can be used to open them. For example, when your computer sees a .doc extension, it knows that it is a file that must be opened by Microsoft Word. 4. Sheri taught us how to create our own custom google search engine.5. We explored two professional development Podcast sites.6. We were introduced to some of Angie Lysitza's favorite websites. The following link is the notes from today's session. It will be on Angie's classroom wiki for the next month only. OODLES OF GOOGLES

**Multimedia and Digital Storytelling Tools**


 * [|Voice Thread] - capture audio for online digital storytelling. THIS IS A MUST HAVE! This is one of the best tools for reaching the needs of all the learners in our classrooms, for all content areas from K-12. The pro version is free to K-12 educators. Make sure you watch the excellent tutorials to take advantage of all the features this tool has to offer.
 * Here are some examples to show you how other educators are using Voice Thread for Education.
 * [|Photo Story 3 for Windows] - you will be amazed at how quickly you can create slide shows or movies from your class photos. Upload your photos in seconds, easily add music and you have a year end presentation of your class activities. MANY other uses.
 * [|Photo Peach] - even easier than Photo Story and it's online so it doesn't matter what computer platform you are using. Import photos, write captions, add music, done! The spiral effect is cool. [|Watch the demo here].
 * [|FlowGram] -
 * [|Animoto] - create fully customized videos of user-selected images and music almost instantaneously. The web application does all the work once you select your images and audio. This one is so cool! [|Animoto For Educators]
 * [|ScrapBlog -]Create online multimedia scrapbooks from your text, video, audio and photos
 * [|Flip Books] - Create online multimedia scrapbooks from your text and photos
 * [|Building Wings: How I Made it Through School]l - A free "[|Readers Theater Implementation Toolkit]" accompanies this autobiography by Don Johnston "which helps learners take charge of their learning potential!" Learned about this from Valerie who left a comment.
