THING 5 PRESENTATION TOOLS
I did not know that there were templates for google slides which I learned from the list of resources for this assignment. I was excited about Tellagami, as I work with elementary students grade K-4 but this tool only seems to work on Apple products. I have to be able to use google if there is any remote chance of the application working in school. I was impressed with the Kentucky Digital Library and I liked the visual presentation of all of the tools in Joyce Valenza's site. One of the articles highlighted the fact that people remember 80% of what they see and only 20% of what they read so visual presentation is key to learning. I also liked the reviews of the tools that were listed in the article entitled. Powerpoint Alternatives. I would like to check out slidedog at some point as I am interested in how you can put up many different types of media on the same site.
In the end I used Movenote and paid the $5.00 which is a very good deal. On my website, I have had a link to a voice thread that does not really work this year so after messing around for a while and making some mistakes, I did manage to insert my Movenote into the spot that I had the voice thread. I did not upload a video of me talking, too scary as it is early in the morning and a snow day, but I would like to play with this feature. I wonder if you can have an avatar instead of an actual video. I typically have students do this feature on my webpage and I don't want their picture on there. Here is the link to my page:

Hopefully it works for you too!
Thank you for mentioning and testing movenote! I look at so many tools, I forget that I've ever used them. And movenote is terrific. I just checked their site and they seem to have a feature where you can skip the camera and just narrate your presentation! Yay, I don't like my face being on presentations either. :)
