Photos + Movement = Photeo (Part 1 of 3) by Stephen Haskin & Megan Torrance
“In eLearning, the idea is to create the opportunity for the learner to have an “ah-ha!” moment. Ah-ha! moments are the parts of learning that stick, and you can’t give yourself more opportunity to create an ah-ha! moment than by using all the visual elements and techniques at your disposal.” Photeo. The word differentiates a static photograph, or any image whether still or moving, from a more video-like experience that employs anything you can see or hear, but not necessarily video. Ken Burns popularized this concept when he created “The Civil War” series on PBS in the late 1980s. The approach soon gained a label: “The Ken Burns Effect.” These days, there are many methods and programs that easily add motion to a still image or video clip, and which can make words or a little image move across a larger scene. Photeo phundamentals When we’re designing and developing eLearning, the photeo technique can be so easy to accomplish that it’s almost silly not to use it at some level. Example 1.
How to make presentations: techniques, handouts, display technologies
Terry Teachout, who long ago reviewed my Visual Display of Quantitative Information for the National Review (!), and who is more famous for his arts reviews and his always interesting weblog has some good advice about making presentations (for authors on bookstore tours, and others as well): "A speech—and this includes a reading—is a performance. It's theater. The people who came to hear you don't want you to shamble up to the podium, mumble a few unintelligible introductory words, open up a store copy of your book, and stick your nose in it for the next half-hour. To that end, here's how I do my readings, step by step: (1) Don't read too much. (2) Write your speech out word for word. Which brings us to (3) Time the speech exactly. (4) Never speak for as long as you're asked. (5) Choose a fairly self-contained excerpt from the book. (6) Don't read from a printed copy of the book. (7) Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! One last thing:

How Wikipedia Works
You've probably seen encyclopedias. Whether you're settling an argument or researching a school project, these books can hold the answers. These days though, the world moves so fast, it's hard for books that were written months or years ago to keep up. Thankfully we have a new kind of encyclopedia that's online, free, built by thousands of people and changes every day. The idea that thousands of volunteers could create an online encyclopedia doesn't sound possible, but thanks to new technology and specific policies, Wikipedia has become one the top 5 sites on the Web. To see how it works, let's get started with the "wiki" in Wikipedia. Being a wiki means that Wikipedia is always changing. This means every change to Wikipedia is reviewed and must abide by two big rules: The first is verifiability, which is necessary to ensure high quality. Requiring contributors to cite these resources in articles and quotations ensures Wikipedia articles are factual and high quality.

Do I just Google that? Tools for Teaching Search Skills in the Primary Classroom
Nowadays many pupils, when given a research task, immediately might think to themselves, “I’ll just Google that.” Internet search engines (of which Google is only one of many) are powerful tools but many pupils use only a fraction of the power of them, and then can also have difficulty finding the information specific to the task. There are many resources now available to help in developing pupil skills in searching more effectively using online search engines. And, of course, when they do find information how do pupils know it is appropriate for the task? Or how do they evaluate what is suitable, and how do they present it and show where the information was found. Tools to Help Teach Research Skills The Big 6 One method of teaching information skills for investigating sources of information from databases, encyclopedias and the Internet is that known as “the Big Six.” 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
