The first study tool I choose to use was Spicynodes. I actually really liked this study tool, and I think it could have many applications. It was incredibly easy to figure out. I think it could help students visualize how their ideas need to link together, and where they can add more detail. It reminds me of an online graphic organizer. This tool reminded me a lot of Prezi, but much simpler. Students can still embed videos and still pictures, which I really liked. I chose to make a brief example of a presentation about my favorite dog.
About Me
- Brianne Oachs
- I am one part of the middle school speech pathologist duo at Mounds View. I split my time between Chippewa, Highview, and Oak Grove. I just started my 5th year in the district. I absolutely love working with middle school students, and can't imagine working with another age group.
I think SpicyNodes is easier than Prezi too but doesn't lack the multimedia options. Try it with kids instead of a paper--pencil graphic organizer some time and see what they think. The one thing that gets annoying is having to create separate accounts for all of these tools...
ReplyDeleteI think your blog is looking fantastic! I can't believe how much you've done. It also appears that you have a natural ability for technology that I clearly do not.
ReplyDeleteGood work:)
