New sites, new tools
I’m back from a few days ‘away’ and I have quite a stack of backlog in twitters and blogs. I had just been puzzling how to get some movies back off of DVDs we’d made to store them when allanahk listed handbrake as just the tool to do that. My blueweb’n update led me to new Yahoo tools so I setup jumpcut. Next I need to try animoto and the potential of the privacy options of vimeo. Teachers in my USM course this summer loved voicethread; it’s easy to learn to use and has many applications for the primary grades and ELL students as well as older students. The whole realm of digital storytelling is opening up more and more for access by students. The task ahead for me is to figure out the logistics of student logins, shared accounts, etc. so that elementary age students who don’t have email accounts can be as independent as possible.

I have now got Animoto and Voicethread under control.
Voicethread would be great for our collaboration next term…
