I would like to work with students as apprentice Cyberscouts to find and share more such opportunities.


3. Free iPhone/iPad Apps for  Creating 3D Images

We're reviewing new apps for 360 3D rotating images,
as well as apps for virtual tours.  The 360 Drop app for Mac only
lets you drag and drop 12 images to the app to instantly have a sharable
3D image to post on your Ecommerce website. Our favorite old app was Youspinpro.com
and the company in Norway will have a new app soon, but likely no longer free.
Search for yourself at http://cnet.com/downloads or the Apple app store, or just Google
360 3D iPad apps   and/or  virtual tours software


4. Introduction to Monetizing Online Content and Epublishing

Seriously, you can create your own business creating apps without learning to write code,
you can self-publish without needing a publisher, dozens of new ways to

5. Become a Citizen Video Professor Like Sal Khan of the
    Khanacademy.com :

It took 6 minutes to create the short video walk-through (above) of fascinating new digital entrepreneurship and Epublishing resources.

When I finished recording, I hit a button to upload it to www.screencast.com
(in the cloud) and it put the URL in my clipboard, ready to paste in an email or on a web page.

When all educators and students learn to do this, it transforms the efficiency of sharing skills via “Show-Me-How” videos.
Easy-to-learn, and indispensible once you see how much time it will save you!

Check how quickly you can become aware of What You Can Do TOO!
"How-To" videos at http://lone-eagles.com/what-you-can-do-too.htm

Here is how....

UPDATE: We have just learned about an exciting new iPad/iPhone app: http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/  $12.99
Also, Screenflow is recommended for video capture but it isn't free like Jing below, Screenflow costs $99.
http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm

Creating video tutorials easily using free online tools your students can learn to use, too:

Watch the one minute video for Jing at
http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html#

Educators can easily create video tutorials in a couple minutes, and refer students to them again, and again,
to save time for the educator and provide endless remediation for students. You will be amazed how easy it is! NO video editing!

Older students can be tasked to create “How-To” tutorial videos for younger students.

NOTE: Jing creates Flash files only, which Apple mobile devices cannot view without a Flash app. But, the $29 Snagit
is better than Jing as it offered editing and saving your video captures as mpg4 files compatible with everything.
See the video tutorials for Snagit also at www.techsmith.com

List your new video tutorials on your new classroom website created at http://education.weebly.com

Jing is a free video capture program, Jessi Dewey at Bethel HS created a final project with remedial math video captures
to save herself time, and to provide painless remediation for her 7th graders.
And she's going to have her 9th grade math students create tutorial math jings for her 7th grade students.

Jessi writes:

Jing is my new top teaching tech tool.  I have a dream....that I will set up a how-to station using two laptop computers (one for high school and one for junior high).  Instead of reminding students individually on how to preform a task (rounding, checking their grades, dividing fractions, etc.), I can simply point them in the direction of the how-to station and they can watch a video of me explaining whatever it is they don't know how to do!  I'm teaching kids how to find and sort through resources while saving my one-on-one time for the students who truly need remedial help!  I love it!

Frank's comments "My favorite time-saving tool for how to quickly make video capture tutorials to allow students self-directed remediation while saving the teacher valuable time not having to repeat and repeat. See Jessi's Mountain Math page below as an example; a dozen short video tutorials that took no more time than talking through the visuals. Quick and Easy."

Post your remedial video tutorials on your new classroom webpage, also mobile compatible at http://education.weebly.com - no ads, and
easy to maintain. Weebly apps for iPad/iPhone are free at the app store, too! Easy enough for elementary students, and elders, to create personal or
Ecommerce websites in minutes.
  Learn more tools like this as you see how easy "Show and Tell" video capture can make learning new tools:

Jessi's comments:
Here is my final project that I'm super proud of.
http://brhsc20.weebly.com
This is my class webpage.  It is set as the home page to all my student's laptops.
It's main uses included:
HS Study Skill - A place where I can keep students' weekly assignments.  Every week we complete a annotated text or text structure assignment.  The students get to choose with graphic organizer they prefer or which text structure they would like to complete.  Having this webpage means I don't have to make unneeded copies.  The students simply download the forms they need and print them (which wirelessly print to the printer in my room).
7th grade and 9th grade intervention math - As weekly bellwork, my students do an activity called Mountain Math.  This is an activity set up to review previously learned skills, which unfortunately means students struggle to recall specific processes.  I created a tab on my webpage called Mountain Math Help.  Students can watch Jing video of me reteaching the concept they are struggling with.  Then, they will hopefully be reminded enough to answer the Mountain Math question.  I've also included a vocab section that students can reference anytime.

Here's two more sample jings from Jessi
Jessi infodiet jing http://www.screencast.com/users/JJDewey/folders/Jing/media/e8febe3d-2ccf-48c9-93be-d38c38624267
What if all educators at your school used this means of quickly showing each other the edtech tools they have found most effective?

8. Introduction to Digital Storytelling for Every Grade Level
