Wow! Time flies when your trying to get all your information out in five minutes. I thought Jing was a pretty good program. Even the free version had enough to offer that you could do something.
As far a the presentation went, I found that I had a hard time trying to point things out and talk at the same time. I'm a NooB at this. It was my first one. Definately need to do it a few times to get the hang of it. Unless I was REALLY good at something, I would want to create some flash cards and point out some cues to move from one point to another. Trial and error. Its free, so it's okay.
I chose CoboCards because I like using flashcards to study with. And the idea of being able to do it with somebody online was really great. Launching the program was a bit slow, but after you got in, it was easy.
Three other programs:
Storybird - Lets people share art and pictures for creating your own story. This would be great for elementary and middle school. Its like an electric flipcart/storyboard that can also be posted to links.
Online-Convert - How many times have we had a good audio or video we want to play, but its in the wrong format. This takes care of it. Plus you can d_load URLs and convert to the format you want. Much like ZAMZAR
Google News Timeline - Want current events for a history project, Check out Google News Timeline. It organizes things in a calendar format. Bad thing is that it only goes back to 2005.
This is an interesting application. I am thinking of all the things I can teach my child via flashcards. It is nice That I can create them and run the program for her on the PC. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat site looks really cool for studying vocabulary. It also looks easy to use. I like that you can study with other people.Good Job!
ReplyDeleteKen-
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice little tool! This could be useful at any level of education!
You also did a very nice job explainging the important aspects of the program in a short amount of time! Good job!
Good job Ken. I have tried different flash card makers and never got too excited about them. This looks more like I wanted. You did a good job of explaining. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use Study Stack for flashcards. My students like the review games it has. I'm always looking for good vocabulary tools. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat tool for kiddos! I definitely want to try to use that with my kids at home.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'll have to show this to my husband. He uses flashcards and has an exam coming up soon! On the talking and showing. Yes, it takes some getting use to. You did great for your first time though!!
