Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
Digital Storytelling from the University of Wollongong Library, Wollongong, Australia Noel Broadhead, Liaison Librarian Digital storytelling refers to short videos, usually two to three minutes in length. A Digital Story can be made from a range of audio and visual elements. The backbone of a Digital Story is a written script - approximately 250 words long. Your script is turned into an audio voice over and combined with visuals such as photos, drawings, diagrams, video, and animation to create a Digital Story.

Nik's Learning Technology Blog: Criteria for Evaluating Web Tools and Apps
I'm often getting asked what my criteria are for choosing the tools, apps and resources that I feature on my blogs and in my teaching and do be honest I don't really think about it that much. I look at so many sites and apps that I just get a feeling when I see something that I think will work. As that isn't a very satisfactory answer to give people I decided to start exploring my own criteria for what influences my choice. I ran a workshop on this topic at IATEFL 2013 on looking at apps and how we can evaluate them. I came up with a number of 'first impression' criteria that I think I apply before even thinking about 'how' I will use the app / tool. Here is the presentation / workshop recording You can download a copy of the presentation from here: Evaluating Web-based Tools Please feel free to browse the list and add any 'pros' and 'cons' for anything you think I've missed. powered by tricider Related links Best Nik Peachey

Mais avant d'explorer cet aspect, il est important de voir rapidement comment les manuels et les certifications ont interprété le CECR et se sont saisi de la "tâche".Figure 2 : Les approches par tâche Ce deuxième tableau permet de visualiser les deux grands courants issus du CECR. Terminons par quelques mots sur l'évaluation et la certification post CECR. 3. 1. - servir de médiateur.
