Two for One - Brian Thomas on WikiSpaces


Brian Thomas has created two awesome videos on WikiSpaces. The first video is a tutorial for setting up and working with WikiSpaces in an educational environment. Brian does a fantastic job explaining the home page, discussion pages, usage pages, complete history and more. Check out the tutorial here.


Brian's second video is a must see Rappin'Review. Take Brian's advice and watch it on Viddler:) Enjoy!



Thanks, Brian!

Sharon Clay on toolet.com

In week one of October, Sharon Clay reviewed a comic strip tool called Toonlet. Within her post she include a detailed video tutorial highlighting the features of this - still in beta - tool. Follow this link to The Sharon Clay Chronicles. Thank you for sharing this, Sharon!




From Sharon's blog:

WWW.TOONLET.COM is a fun, exciting, and creative web2.0 tool which allows the registered user to create comic strip characters and insert them into their very own comic. I learned that even the most limited artist can design a comic with a professional appeal for free. I think this tool will help inspire my students to write and I am looking forward to introducing my class to this program.
