For the third year in a row (see 2009 and 2010), I wanted to use the last post of the year to share a few examples of the great work that is being done by my graduate and undergraduate students. I am so very fortunate to have creative & hard-working students who are committed to improving their knowledge of teaching and learning in light of our new digital landscape. I hope that some of these examples will inspire you to take up new challenges in your own context.
From EC&I 831 (Open graduate course, Social Media & Open Education):
Summaries of Learning:
- Leslie – used stop-motion technique.
- Tannis – used Glogster, an interactive, digital poster-making tool.
- Shauna – used Freemind (free & open source mind-mapping tool) & video-editing.
- Laura – used Xtranormal, a freemium “type-to-create-movies” tool.
- Gail – used Screenr, a free and easy screencasting tool.
- Kelley – used Jing, another free screencasting tool.
- Lorena – used Voicethread, a group conversation and presentation tool.
- Katy – used TikaTok (a tool for creating books) and Jing.

Electronic Portfolios:
There were many other good projects to share, but this represents a good sample of the student work from the semester. I’m looking forward to one more great semester before a 16 months hiatus from teaching as I move toward my sabbatical planning.
Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for sharing this student projects, Alec, again such a great summary of what your students accomplish. I just pulled the ones that used the tools mentioned as new examples for the 50Ways wiki (http://50ways.wikispaces.com/)
FYI- the link for Leslie’s stop motion (first in list) is broken, missing a “/” I think
