12 Tools To Create Powerful Presentations About two weeks ago, I wrote an article about representing information in form of an infographic.

Uskontotuntiunelmia: Ihan pilvessä sanapilvistä! Olen tutustunut uuteen pilvipalveluun ja haluan jakaa sen helppouden sinulle lukijamme! Kyseessä on Answergarden, ilmainen pilvipalvelu, jolla saan opiskelijoiden tai koulutettavien ajatuksia näkyville mukavaksi sanapilveksi. Mikäs tässä nyt sitten on niin ihmeellistä? No se helppous ja vielä se, että saan nopeasti vetäjänä tai opettajana tietoa kurssilaisteni ajattelusta. Pedagoginen lisäarvo? Noh, jos esim kysyn opiskelijoilta answergardenin avulla, mikä käsite etiikan termeistä jäi heille vielä epäselvimmäksi, näen saman tien pilvestä, mikä on tuottanut eniten haastetta ja pääsen vielä porautumaan opiskelijoiden kanssa asiaan. Tai kouluttajan työkalu kurssin alkaessa: Mitä odotat kurssilta? Jos kiinnostuit, kurkkaa lyhyt opetusvideoni sanapilven teosta ja voit kokeilla oman pilven vääntämistä. Palvelun plussia: + ilmainen + täysin pilvessä: ei latauksia open tai opiskelijoiden laitteille + ei rekisteröitymistä (aivan, jeeeeee!) Kokeilemaan vaikka kokoustenkin alussa! Aiotkos kokeilla?
Corporation of New York: Transforming Teaching & Learning Through Technology by Kathy Seal Fourteen year-old Will Gomez leans back on his chair, stretching away from the black-framed computer screen in front of him. He wears a blue oxford cloth shirt and khakis, and his light brown hair is gelled up into spikey peaks. “Does anyone have a bunch of golf balls?” he tosses out toward the backs of the 20 other students in his physics classroom at San Diego’s High Tech High, who are also seated at computer screens ranged around three of the four classroom walls. “If you convert the volume of the stadium into cubic inches, you would divide that by the volume of the golf ball,” answers Steve James, a tall slim boy with black hair combed back smoothly over his skull. The two teenagers bend over a piece of paper on a table, James talking excitedly as he sketches and scribbles formulas and calculations, Gomez watching. This poster assignment aims to sharpen his students’ “real world critical thinking skills,” says High Tech High physics teacher Jared Schiffman.
