We enjoyed viewing your presentation during our district Media Specialist Professional Development workshop on digital presentations. The students work was so impressive.
Question…did you use Keynote?

What a super presentation, Kyle! Thanks so much for sharing this. I especially liked and appreciated the ways you included student voices via audio recordings. Have you been just having students upload their audio into WikiSpaces? If you transition to a blog like KidBlog you can still have students do that, but it might be better/easier to have them embed audio from a site/service like AudioBoo.

I think it’s a good idea to transition to a blog, because it makes it easier to leave comments and moderate comments. From what I’ve seen it’s harder to manage/moderate comments in WikiSpaces.

Our entire librarian/media specialist team in Yukon Schools is going to watch, discuss and respond to your video at our monthly meeting next week. I’m so excited to share it!

I love that you are bringing student voices into your presentation. I know that is logical, given your topic, but still … it was nice to hear.
It’s valuable your sharing of all of the free tools, as it might pave the way for more teachers.
I am very intrigued by how we can use audio for revision, and how students hearing themselves read their writing can give them another perspective on their writing. I need to do more of this. Thanks for reminding me of this.
And thanks for sharing.
