'ABC Learning' Create spelling videos using PowerPointFiona Beal
In this presentation, Mochudu Machaba will show us how learners can create vocabulary content using PowerPoint. She will domonstrate how learners can design PowerPoint videos to revise their language structure and help them improve their vocabulary. Visuals improve their memory to recall what they have learned and also help them understand words better by relating the vocabulary to pictures. In this lesson learners should come up with words and pictures to create their own spelling words. Learners will record themselves saying words and later coming up with sentences. In this way learners’ confidence is enhanced because they will create their own content. They can use either Sepedi or English. They will then rehearse what they have created and do creative writing as well.
How to integrate Augmented Reality successfully in your classroom by Ronelle ...Fiona Beal
This is the presentation that accompanied a webinar by Ronelle Klinck that I hosted. n this webinar, Ronelle demonstrated the steps to integrate Augmented Reality successfully in your classroom. Augmented Reality is a tool teachers can use to bring learning to life and make the learning experience an interactive adventure. Ronelle says, "I use AR to engage my learners, scaffold learning and flip my classroom. In this webinar I’ll share practical examples of how to integrate AR in your classroom."
With the Internet being so HUGE these days educators have to become master curators of content. A Learnist Board is a really useful way to curate and keep a record of the information that you need. I love using Diigo, Pinterest and Scoopit for curation purposes, but Learnist has its own unique properties that sets it apart as a useful way of collecting the sites you want to keep.
PowerPoint is not only a presentation application - following on from last week's webinar where 10 uses of PowerPoint are outlined, this Slideshare gives another 20+ uses of this amazing application

videos and darken the entire screen around the video leaving your video lit
up! The focus will be solely on the video you want to show the students in
your classroom! No distractions! The entire page will be darkened, so you
can watch the video as if you were in the cinema. Click again and the page

you can capture the whole page or any
portion, and annotate it with rectangles,
circles, arrows, lines and text, blur sensitive

are you in YouTube and the ads start appearing? It is most
annoying. AdBlock It works automatically: just click "Add to

disappear!

shorten the link to promote it on Facebook or
Twitter, the URL shortener is right there on the
browser bar. You cick on it and it gives you the
shortened version to copy.

you normally have to go and check whether anyone's modified them.
This Chrome extension will list your shared documents that were
updated since the last time you have viewed them right from your
browser bar.

to your browser enables you to quickly save something for later and
open it again on any computer where you have signed into Chrome. You
just click on the icon and it opens a box that will enable you to tag the
resource very easily. It is a case of:
