A Fun Way to "Study" Geography
Applications for Education
As I pointed out above, the song moves too fast to be used as anything other than an introduction to World Geography. The video did give me an idea for a possible student project. You could have students try to create their rhymes or songs about geography. Record the vocals (you can do this easily with Drop.io) to use as the background audio for a geography video of their own. The students could also use their rhyme or song as the audio narration of a Google Earth tour.
Copy / Paste by Peter Pappas: Summarizing What's Important with a "How To" Video
Explaining "how to" requires students to research a subject, evaluate what's important, and create a guide for someone else to follow. It gives them an opportunity to write for an authentic audience and purpose and use skills that rank very high on Bloom's taxonomy.

iLearn Technology » Spell with Flickr
How to integrate Spell with Flickr into the classroom: Spell with Flickr is a simple but neat website to use in the classroom. Students can use Spell with Flickr to type in and practice their spelling words, to create titles for reports, to spell out their name for an auto biography poem, and to practice letter recognition. Teachers can use Spell with Flickr as a fun way to create titles for bulletin boards, classroom signs, to make a unique word wall, or to make an alphabet banner. Spell with Flickr can also be used on wikis and blogs making it perfect for fun titles. Create an alphabet book, phonics blends book, or sight word book out of Spell with Flickr pictures.

Music Tech Teacher
This site is an extension of the music technology classroom at Central Park School in Birmingham, AL. I have been teaching Instrumental Music since 1992. I started teaching Music Technology Classes in 1994. My 2nd through 5th grade students are learning to read, write, compose and publish their music to CD's and the Internet. Student work, pictures and music compositions are on this site. The site is also used to provide music technology links, quizzes, resources and information to all music teachers interested in using technology to enhance music instruction. As I teach in-services to our school music teachers, I will post notes and handouts. I hope that the site will serve as a valuable resource for teachers and students.
The Oldies Come to Animoto's Music Library
Applications for Education
Here is an idea for using Animoto in an English/ Literature course. To get students excited about studying and or writing poetry have them select a poem, record an audio track of the poem being read, then use that audio track as part of an Animoto poetry video. Alternatively, you may try simply having students select music and images that they feel captures the tone and message of a poem.
Another way to use Animoto is to have students collect images of the community they live in and put them into an Animoto show. Students should selec
Teaching a lesson using diigo - part 2 « Andywhiteway’s Blog

Students were to look at three different websites, each containing a different poem by W.H. Auden. On each site they would be required to highlight and explain a different piece of information from the poem. They would then be required to synthesise the three seperate explanations they had given about the poems into a conclusion on the overall message contained in Auden’s poetry, which they would post on the forum on our diigo group’s homepage.
