I found something new, thanks to a fellow teacher blogger (see “Integrating Technology” in my blogroll). It’s called Sprout.
You hopefully can garner most information from their video included there. As the site states:
Sprout is the quick and easy way for anyone to build, publish, and manage widgets, mini-sites, mashups, banners and more. Any size, any number of pages. Include video, audio, images and newsfeeds and choose from dozens of pre-built components and web services.
Seems like a pretty nifty thing. The quality of my sprout is not spectacular, but I whipped it up in about five minutes. It really has a lot of capabilities, so I will improve upon it. What’s great is that I already made a couple changes and I didn’t even have to paste any new code in the blog. It publishes your presentation live, and adjusts any embedded videos. I like that.
Yep.
Highlights Magazine has a section called “Ask Arizona.” Now, this magazine feature is available as a podcast. It can be downloaded, or you can subscribe via iTunes or RSS.
The podcasts have a good production value–quality voice actor, music, and an overall good sound. This is a great resource for teachers or parents. Kids need to ask permission before clicking any buttons on the page, though.
