Jazz up PowerPoint?

Looking for a way to jazz up PowerPoint presentations?  Look no further than powtoon.com.  This website allows for animations throughout the presentation.  It's free!

EdPuzzle

Since the Google Summit, I have been most fascinated by EdPuzzle.  This site allows you to customize youtube videos with questions, comments, quizzes, etc.  Youtube is blocked for students, but I think by using keepvid.com, we can still download a youtube video, upload it into EdPuzzle, and then embed it in Google Classroom for our students.  I have one teacher working on it now.  Will keep you posted...

Google Summit

I attended the Google Summit this weekend in Charlottesville, VA.  It was a wonderful conference with many great ideas!  Here are a few of the sessions I attended:

• Totally Engaged Individuals with TEI
• CS First:  Coding with Confidence
• Accessibility, Extension, and More, Oh My!
• Integrating Chrome Extension Tools for Flipped and Blended Learning
• Flipped Learning with EdPuzzle
• Beef up your Literature Circles with Hyperdocs
• Information Literacy, Media Literacy, and Google Search

I will post ideas from the conference as I delve into them.

Thank you

Thank you to all who came out to STEM night!  It was a fun filled evening.
