ANIMOTO
This is for the truly adventurous with lots of time to spare for creating the most wonderful lessons….
Animoto is a new mashup tool that lets you create a video from your images and music. The service overall could be likened to a slide show creator, but what animoto has done is incorporate a patent-pending artificial intelligence technology to offer something a bit more unique. Mimicking tools that are used by professional directors and editors, Animoto will consider the images and music that you’ve submitted for the creation of a video ‘mashup’. The end result will be more like a movie trailer than a regular slideshow. Others in this realm include Photobucket, Eyespot, which has recently launched a media platform for advertisers, and Fliptrack.This Web 2.0 application is a great tool for collaborative learning through which the students (and teacher) could make their own movie clips suitable to their learning and study. This could be a great exercise in class or even a large assignment they could take home where together students are to research a topic and make a movie in its regard.

THE EVOLUTION OF WEB 2.0
The slideshow aims to highlight the key differences between web1.0 applications compared to web 2.0 applications, plus the evolution and advantages of the two.“web 2.0 is people”- what more can I say!?!
SCHOOL LEARNING GOES WEB 2.0
The new “social Web” or Web 2.0 is gradually having an impact in schools as teachers and students begin to explore the potential of social networking, blogs, shared online features and wikis. These technologies are giving rise to new educational opportunities – social collaborative learning. As time goes on, teachers are increasingly becoming familiarized with these new technologies and are using blogs and wikis more and more.
I AM A WEB 2.0 WORKER
The presentation compares the worker 1.0 with a worker 2.0, highlighting the benefits of working with WEB 2.0 (both in the classroom environment and the real world).
It also suggests the creativity of its nature, how innovative it is and the need to be intellectually present when contributing, because authority comes from knowledge rather than power when using Web 2.0 as a community.
Web 2.0 applications have ensured awareness, engagement, sharing and learning amongst co-workers, students, friends and colleagues.
Stephen Collins from ‘AcidLabs’ has implemented and incorporated photographs from a variety of public photo sites- iStockphoto.com, LuckyOliver.com and Flickr.com- all of which I hope to implement in my teaching.
BACK TO SCHOOL WITH THE CLASS OF WEB 2.0
“Back to School with the Class of Web 2.0″ – Brian Benzinger A total collection of all the software of Web 2.0 With the start of the new school year, many teachers and students are seeking new products and technologies to help them through their upcoming academics. With the increase of teachers using blogs and wikis, and students networking and utilizing online tools, the demand for easier and more efficient ways of learning is on the rise. To me, the growing interest for web-based learning is amazing, which brought me to thinking; what if I were to consolidate some of the helpful online products and services that can help students, teachers and administrators alike? Well, I convinced myself. The following is a compilation of Web 2.0 products that I’ve personally researched and tested. These services are grouped into two main categories: “Tools”; and “Office ApplicationsR21;. Some more specific services include: organizers, grade books , research tools, document managers, diagrams, and more. There are going to be three parts to the “Back to School with the Class of Web 2.0″ series:
- part one covering tools
