Presentations and Conferencing: Time and Space Travel

Reflections:

21st Century Learning tools essentially allow us to overcome traditional barriers to learning that were presented by time and space.
I remember excitedly watching my teacher set up a cassette player, film strip projector and closing the curtains to set up an amazing lesson on maple syrup... it didn't last long, and it was bookended by the usual lecture style teaching with chalk and board.
Today I could share am currently sharing multiple presentations that include sound, video, images, animated annotations, etc. that students could and would want to watch at home, in class, or at their friend's house. They could pause and review a portion they didn't understand at first, and talk about it with their friends or family. They could add their own input in a variety of ways that are compatible with their learning styles; or they could author their own presentation in response, to demonstrate what they learned.
We could also share our presentations with (conceivably) anyone, anywhere in the world, and be there to answer and ask questions. The professional learning that can be achieved by networking with others is fantastic. We can engage experts, teachers, and learners all over the planet with our inquiry/ies as teachers, and learners!

Two Stars: This is, time travel, and space travel!
and
A wish: It has to be accessible,  and it has to enhance learning (i.e. not just gussied up lecture styles)

With that in Mind Here are 4 tools I looked at for creating presentations:


Haiku Review - Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires







Powtoon! (Great app... won't embed! So please click here!)

And here are my reflections on conferencing tools...
This is a COLLABORATIVE presentation (i.e. Asynchronous Conference!) so please participate if you can!! I'm very interested to see how it works out!
