Due to its layout, everyone with permission is able to upload things, make comments, mark on certain material. It is overall a great way for active engagement virtually. It can also be beneficial in order to present an actively engaging, yet virtual, activity during an in-person class. ]]> 2022-02-17 01:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052139683 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052140676 VoiceThread provides multiple functions and features. It allows anyone with access to upload material, mark on material, and create comments in multiple ways. Comments can be left on materials by uploading a response, creating a video, typing out a response, or drawing a response on the uploaded material. It provides multiple options for engagement and interaction amongst those in the class. It provides various options for teachers to present material to their class and what they could ask their class to do with that material. ]]> 2022-02-17 01:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052140676 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052140950 Some limitations that are included with this option is that in order to use more advanced aspects of VoiceThread, a fee is required. There is also the possibility that some students to do not have access to internet as well as technical difficulties related to laptops, computers, and the internet itself. ]]> 2022-02-17 01:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052140950 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052141259 The strengths that are associated with VoiceThread would be the amazing features it provides. These features enforce an active and engaging component to the class, whether in-person or virtual. ]]> 2022-02-17 01:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2052141259 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059082297 This would be such a cute way to incorporate creative literature practice within the classroom! I would use this website at a specific time, maybe Fridays, in order to provide the opportunity for my students to get creative with their writing! This is also a way you can incorporate the use of technology within the classroom, which students love! ]]> 2022-02-21 16:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059082297 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059085304 StoryBird provides students with the opportunity to create their own stories, whether it be poems, creative writing, etc. Students are also able to choose pictures that the website contains to go with their stories. Students can also access stories to read through this website. ]]> 2022-02-21 16:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059085304 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059088144 A major limitation that correlates with this website is that after a 7-day free trial, most features require a fee besides reading stories. Another limitation regarding StoryBird is that students are not able to upload their own artwork to their stories, limiting creativity. ]]> 2022-02-21 16:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059088144 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059105653 StoryBird provides a space for students to read creative stories as well as create their own stories! Although they cannot upload their own artwork to go with their stories, they are able to upload pictures to go with their stories using various images the website provides. ]]> 2022-02-21 17:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059105653 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059111213 This website could be used to replace boring slide softwares such as PowerPoint and Keynote. I would use this website to create fun transitioning slides that will hopefully grasp the attention of my students much more than the classic slide setup. The unique themes and transitions that can be used are very fun! I could also create a presentation and apply a video of me discussing something, showing an example, etc. imbedded in the slide. I could also do an over-voice and have my speaking recorded with the presentation if I need to do something else or if my students like that better. ]]> 2022-02-21 17:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059111213 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059113995 Prezi provides a way to create fun and engaging presentations due to its creative slide transitions and themes. It also allows the creator to upload a video of themselves with the presentation and record it while they talk through as well as allowing the creator to just do a voice-over. ]]> 2022-02-21 17:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059113995 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059335732 The only limitation I can really dig up with Prezi is the fact that it needs internet in order to create something. Without internet, you are unable to access the website. People using Prezi have also complained about motion sickness due to all of its movement. ]]> 2022-02-21 20:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059335732 copelandj71 https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059337307 Prezi is a great way to introduce creative and engaging presentations to the classroom. You are able to include voice-overs, videos, fun transitions, and cool themes in order to present information. ]]> 2022-02-21 20:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/copelandj71/y01ntb4agh1v6be2/wish/2059337307
