Binumi – a Video Project Tool
19 01 2018Binumi is an AWESOME tool for digital storytelling video projects. There is a free version that should be adequate for your needs. It has a huge library of video clips as well as sound files that can easily be dragged and dropped to your storyline. Adding text as well as your own files are easily done but if you get stuck there is a short tutorial right within your project screen – just look for the i which gives you an overview of the editor. I’ve included a short video to give you an introduction and if you have any questions contact me. I’d be more than happy to help! Go to https://www.binumi.com/ and create your free account Enjoy!

FusFoo
21 06 2017Hi Everyone and welcome to SUMMER 🙂
I wanted to share my latest FREE find and thought you may enjoy taking a look as you relax this summer.
It is a high school digital network that can be shared across schools nationwide. You don’t need to be a member to access the content and don’t have to worry about negative content. Check it out at https://www.fusfoo.com/ Mineola High School has several articles including the one featured “Seniors Speak: Reflections”
Check out our course page for updates on courses at MTRACT or other centers that have shared with me.
Have a terrific summer!

Writing Reviser – a Google AddOn
29 03 2017Back in 2014, I wrote about SAS Curriculum Pathways and the many interactive tools and lessons available for free. They are still there but now they are moving to Chrome!!! The Writing Navigator is a tool AND app that helps students move from planning to drafting to revising to publishing. You will have to create an account but its free.
And NOW, SAS has included an add-on to Google Docs for the Writing Reviser! Any teacher I’ve shown this tool to has been blown away!
To get it, go to Tools, Get Add-ons in a Google Doc: 
When you want to use the Writing Reviser just go back to your AddOn tab and Open the Addon! I can’t even tell you how much is available with this add-on. I could not do it justice. Here’s some images but you really need to try it to see its power.
Sentence Economy Information
Verb Tenses
Misplaced Modifiers
Enjoy!

SWAY an online FREE Presentation Tool
11 12 2016Have you ever used SWAY? It is an incredible FREE online tool that can be used to create presentations/lessons. Since it is strictly online, it works well with Chromebooks. A VERY cool thing about SWAY is that it intuitively offers content based on the words you place on your “cards”. The content offered is Creative Commons – You can embed YouTube, Geogebra, Tweets, Google Maps…
The example above was created by me and all content was in the Sway library for me so I never had to leave the site.
Sways can be private or public so sharing is encouraged! The following example is one that I found – I chose it because it gives some really good ideas. If you click on the … in the right corner, you can open full size in a new tab. Enjoy!
