This episode is packed with links that we’ve been wanting to share with you. And special thanks to Anna’s Mom and Dad who let us arrive unexpectedly and use their wireless this morning. Long story, but you’ll hear it on the podcast…and we have to get this posted, so it’s not as edited…hope you can bear with us! What Could It Mean http://whatcoulditmean.wikispaces.com/ Using VoiceThread, contribute a single photo of your country depicting a unique tradition, custom, routine, etc. Students post their thoughts on what that image represents. VoiceThread Revisited http://ed.voicethread.com Providing a secure, collaborative environment for educators and students. $10 fee, but that’s almost free. Kerpoof http://www.kerpoof.com http://www.kerpoof.com/teach What is Kerpoof? Kerpoof is all about having fun, discovering things, and being creative. Here are just a few ways you can use Kerpoof: Make artwork (even if you aren’t good at drawing!) Make an animated movie (really! it’s easy!)

Panwapa http://www.panwapa.com Developed by the educators behind Sesame Street, geared towards 4 to 7 year olds with the intent to promote global awareness. Awareness of the wider world, appreciating similarities and valuing differences, taking responsibility for one’s behaviors, community participation and willingness to take action, and understanding of and responsiveness to economic disparity. Several languages, video and print. Lesson plans coming soon. Levelator http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/ Free software that runs on Windows, OS X (universal binary), or Linux (Ubuntu) that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It’s magic–levels of both people speaking are magically “levelled” out–your podcasts (or any audio recording) will sound professional! Gigapan http://share.gigapan.org/easter.php?window_height=697&window_width=1297 GigaPan consists of three technological developments: a robotic camera mount for capturing very high-resolution (gigapixel and up) panoramic images using a standard digital camera; custom software for constructing very high-resolution gigapixel panoramas; and, a new type of website for exploring, sharing and commenting on gigapixel panoramas and the detail our users will discover within them. The GigaPan website allows hosting and sharing all kinds of panoramas, and so the robotic GigaPan mount is recommended but is certainly not required to be part of this community. Think digital online “Where’s Waldo”. HP Project Idea http://tiny.cc/j3KGo Do a scavenger hunt with your students. Make it a Math hunt. Find an example of 4/5th. Or find a parallelogram.
