Cool Tools and KET Encyclomedia

Cool Tools and KET Encyclomedia

notes from TIS session, presented by Brian Spellman

(also presented KET Encyclomedia: Advanced and Student Integration )

1. Go to KET web site.

This links you to http://www.ket.org

Cool FREE tools we explored today:

Brian noted: on all of them, you can make it public or private, be they wikis, blogs, timelines, etc.

On wikispaces.com, Brian linked to the missibket space to introduce "KET EncycloMedia and Web 2.0 Tools"

Digital Storytelling with:

  1. MovieMaker
  2. PhotoStory
  3. VoiceThread , and Brian linked to a tutorial ??? Where was it ???

Online Timelines with xtimeline. Check out the three tabs on the home page: Explore, Create, Groups.

( I checked out the History of Star Wars )

From the Groups tab, I discovered a group called WEB 2.0, creating timelines about web 2.0 companies and industry trends.

animoto now includes an Education Program.

The topic shifted to working with Bluescreen, Greenscreen, and Chroma Key technology.

Brian demonstrated how you can now Greenscreen with MovieMaker. So, Greenscreen & Encyclomedia can go hand in hand.

(I googled: bluescreen for MovieMaker)... finding

1. YouTube video called Bluescreen with Win MovieMaker.

2. wikiHow has a page on How to Chroma Key in Windows Movie Maker

Great session on Cool Tools, Brian!!!
