I have created a video tutorial (a vodcast, really) on “Completing the Square”. This is a pretty challenging part of Year 10 or Year 11 quadratic functions.

Safe use of Web 2.0 tools

I was looking for some more info on how to look after my students’ interests (safety, privacy etc) when they’re blogging etc. I went through the global teacher safe publishing page, which lead me to a great blog by Gail Casey with some blogging guidelines. These guidelines look like what I should be using with my students, when we get onto this stuff properly…

Interesting sites, privacy issues, and more…

There seem to be a huge number of possibilities out there that we (teachers and students) can use, but where do we start?

One that I am looking at is rafi.ki which looks pretty interesting. How do we use it in the classroom? I’m not sure - we don’t have the time, because we still have to teach all the curriculum.

Other interesting sites:

Check them out.

When students are publishing information on the net, we have to be careful about privacy. There are some interesting conversations going on in other blogs (eg: the edublogger, Al Upton’s blog) - I am going to have to get some ideas for our school.

By the way, adding audio to some slides can be done through voicethread, but you wouldn’t start with a powerpoint presentation if you were doing it this way.

And now for the audio….

So the slideshare worked, but the audio didn’t. I will have to work out the next step. I’ve got a feeling that it involves voice threads or something…

Slideshare…?

Here is another powerpoint tutorial from some of my Year 10’s. We know that it’s not super flash (and there’s also a maths mistake!) but we’re just trying things out at the moment.

Some simple “vodcasts”

Filed under: podcasting — twitty @ 6:41 pm

Here is a vodcast that a couple of my students developed. I am not sure if the audio will sync with the slides, but here goes.

I am just starting out at this, but we all have to start somewhere. I am wondering if I am going to have to get broadband internet on - depends how much of this I do I guess.

Here’s a photo of my cat - I’m testing to see if I can add photos!

 

That’s all for a start - I should be doing my homework!
