ITC Apps Apps and More Apps

Joan J. Osborne
Northern Virginia Community College

mlearning replacing elearning?

bring users together to share ideas and collaborate...find common apps including LMS app

http://goo.gl/JojVo

goo.gl or  bit.ly for shortening (I use tiny url) (tiny url and bit.ly you can customize URL, but goo.gle gives you the QR code too)

http://goo.gl/JojVo

Merlot has a great app resource too of good apps: http://Goo.gl/hoor4

I definitely need to try out Storify

Vine (loosely combined with twitter)--very very short videos (6 seconds)

* Note for Kari: For Online Social Networking (About.me)

Toondoo.com

SlideRocket

Quick Office Pro

HaikuDeck

iannotate

ScreenChomp

fotopedia ecyclopedia of images







ITC Using QR Codes and Video to Enhance Learning

Dr. Douglas Mann
Rowan University

Video Examples from side walls posted in conference room:

Black and White and Scanned all over High School using QR codes

Knight College Physics example using QR codes
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=VLg1kpPja6M&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVLg1kpPja6M

"When it get's you thinking...that's good"


QRCode Generator (QR Stuff Free Online)
QRStuff.com

Video as QR code that we as a group uploaded, watched and then applied.  Photo to come!  But our group succeeded!

QR's are kind of hip now so if it helps engage students a little more and that's a cool.

Mobile learning for evaluation

Alot of potential for campus--harder to come up with ideas for online classes.

Some Ideas:
QR Scavenger Hunt
QR Quilt or Mosiac (to get to know each other, or pool videos or other resournces)
Back history of places (ie Why is the Chalberg Theatre named that--who was he?)

Students create a business card with a business card


I suggested creating a free blog just to have a website for content generation and page selection for URLs to use to create/make into QR code






cont.

Voki.com
Speaking Avatars

SoftChalk & SoftChalk Cloud
(Neither are free)

YouSeeU
(site licensing) or $20 per students (for year) that could be done as a course fee
can be put into online or technology fee (if other departments use this it could be beneficial)
record assignment online
you can add comments
student summaries (or student story sharing)
students can comment on each others in live time (synced)
add slides





ITC Engaging Students with Interactive Teaching Tools

Interactive Tools presentation California State University Fullerton

Based off of Community of Inquiry: 
Social Presence
Cognitive Presence
Teaching Presence 

I. Using Audio and Video
VoiceThread.com (see and hear students) Students have a voice
Free version (also a paid upgrade) for instructor or students
upload slides, pictures or videos
Posts or emails the link 

Assignment example
1. Watch a video on designated topic (how not to)
2. Watch a video that shows the technique (exemplary)
3. Find and read an article about topic and post it for the classmates
4. Record a VoiceThread about how YOu might use it 

VoiceThread uses students photo or video of them talking (can do discussion)

Another site
Xtranormal.com
Free account (paid upgrade)
avatar, voice, accents

II. Another idea
Literature Circles
Discussion groups of 4-6 students
Read the same book or article
Each group member prepares for discussion
Group meets regularly

Students can choose which book they want to participate in based on your list
Focused Reading
Informal
Student defined
Accountable for prepping and conducting own meetings

Teacher selects books, structure assignment, orient students to assignment and student roles,facilitate

Students expect teacher to lead discussion but give it back to them

Student roles are rotated
Discussion director (has some introductory questions for discussion and some background information)
LiteraryLuminary (connects to textbook page numbers)
Connector
Illustrator
Summarizer
Vocabulary Enricher
Investigator

http://bit.ly/itc2013

Cool.  Above link page 3 has form creator for creating a self check with embedding code that we think we then just copy and paste into our D2L.
* Have to explore this!

Page 5 has Drag and Drop template
Can do text or images
Make the files and zip them up

clickable list generator--use with image

dynamic image--
* Could be cool for Windows & Mirrors integration

Great Presentation.  Awesome sharable and usable resources.  Hope the templates work for us in D2L. If they do, this one session was worth the cost of the conference! :) Thanks!
