Episode 50-Links that make us think…

Resources

  • Jeopardy Labs -  Allows you to create a customized jeopardy template without PowerPoint. The games you make can be played online from anywhere in the world.
  • TikaTok – Imagine a story, create a book.
  • Kinetic City – Amazing collection of games, science experiments, and projects. Beat the bugs and set things right.
  • JayCut – Online video editing.
  • Edmodo – Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other.
  • All About Explorers – All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Because we wanted to make a point about finding useless information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research! Follow @explorers on Twitter.

Faves

  • ABC Animals ($2.99) – ABC Animals provides a wonderful set of interactive flashcards that aid in teaching young children to recognize, say and print English alphabet letters (website).

I was very much looking forward to your podcast today, but it appears the link for the MP3 file is the wrong episode!

I’m a big, dumb dork. The subscription for iTunes worked but I put the wrong episode on this post originally. Now it should be right. Sorry about that and thanks for letting me know!

Hi Anna and Helen. Thank you so much for featuring Tikatok in your big 50th podcast, and for taking the time to explain the StorySparks – we think they are a great resource for inspiring kids to write. Don’t forget that you can embed a book in your blog, so if you have student books to share we can all enjoy them!

Hey girls! I’m back! I got left behind in the cyber dust a few months (maybe a year?) ago. I so miss hearing you tell of the neat things. I’m now attempting to get caught up, now that FCAT (akin to the Texas TAKS) is over and done with.
Congrats on your 50th episode!

Thank YOU, Neal, for making Tikatok so awesome! I introduced my tech club to it and they were very excited!

I like the Tikatok! We can embed books into our blogs? Any blogs? Like with iWeb? Now, I’m really intrigued!
Thanks for the tip!

Yes, you can embed a book by clicking on the “Share” button and then “Link or Embed this book.” Copy the embed code and then paste it into your blog post or website as HTML. WordPress blogs that are hosted on WordPress (blogname.wordpress.com) don’t allow you to paste HTML, but installed versions do. I know, so complicated with all of the different blog engines. I’m not too familiar with iWeb, but I bet you can do it.
