This year's series of forums about technology and education
begins with a show-and-tell peek at some web-based teaching
tools we thought you might enjoy learning about. The tools
are:
Real Slideshow: The newest, and perhaps the coolest,
tool from RealNetworks. With RealSlideshow, which is free, you
can make narrated slideshows viewable by your students at home.
No fancy computer, no high-tech modem connection required. No
high-tech knowledge is required to make the slideshows. Import
some graphics, make a narration, add a music track, and presto,
you have a streaming narrated slideshow. Better still, you can
post it on a free server on the web, then have your students
link to it from your website.
Third Voice: An innovative program which allows you
post yellow post-it notes, annotated, on any website that only
you or your class can read when they visit it. Efficient, quick
way for you or your students to evaluate, comment, or discuss
any site on the web. You visit the website, then join in a
threaded discussion of its content while still viewing the
material. Free, secure, and password-protected.
WebEx: Great way to do virtual office hours. Exciting
conferencing tool, totally web-based, that lets you use your
desktop as a "virtual whiteboard" while conferencing with a
student or students. You can demonstrate techniques using any
software system on your harddisk, then hand off control to your
student to let them show what they are working on while chatting
with them online. Also free, also password-protected.
