Teaching & Writing Blog: Using Videoant
http://leeshi-andreal.blogspot.com/2008/11/using-videoant.html
Teaching and Writing Blog. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. My students give presentations that we record and it would be great to comment on their videos this way. I will definately use this if it is still free and available. I guess it is too big to embed. I will have to ask how to do this in class. I missed this class where Richard introduced VideoAnt. Dang! And there was no link to click on- did you get it figured out? December 17, 2008 at 11:37 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Teaching & Writing Blog: Power Point Presentation
http://leeshi-andreal.blogspot.com/2008/11/power-point-presentation.html
Teaching and Writing Blog. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. I used skyrocket to create this presentation on Styles and Strategies. When a slide says video you need to click to get to the link. I couldn't figure out how to embed You Tube video into the slide so you need to go to the link. Just click on "video" and it brings you to the You Tube video. Music was hard for me too. At The End you can listen to a BBC English Presentation on "How to Extend a Conversation". This is a great way to engage students.

Teaching & Writing Blog: Van Gogh and The Color of Night
http://leeshi-andreal.blogspot.com/2008/11/van-gogh-and-color-of-night.html
Teaching and Writing Blog. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Van Gogh and The Color of Night. I love this one! It gives the impression of you just stopping some New Yorker on the street, asking him a question, and then challenging him! If he was a true New Yorker, he'd have walked off sooner than he did! And I love Van Gogh and his "Starry, Starry Night" - yes, I know he neither wrote nor sang the song! December 17, 2008 at 11:45 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Teaching & Writing Blog: Evaluating student work on-line
http://leeshi-andreal.blogspot.com/2008/11/evaluating-student-work-on-line.html
Teaching and Writing Blog. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Evaluating student work on-line. I looked at Edina High School's rubrics and I got some good ideas on how to have a final summative eval of all blogs. The criteria included:. All of the posts were submitted. Used correct grammar and mechanics most of the time. Commented on at least two times for each post. Applies specific examples to support points (I added this). However, I can't imagine providing feedback using Audacity. Too much time! Create an o...
