Improving Teaching with Technology

This allows zooming and provides more context than a PowerPoint. There is a steeper learning curve to master this than PowerPoint, but it is well worth the effort if you want to give a presentation to your class, fellow teachers or at a conference. 

Sign up with an educational email - one that has .edu. in it, such as your Curtin email. You can create 5 free Prezis with it.

There will be tons of "How to videos" on Youtube, in Prezi and on Vimeo. If you find a really good one, place a link to it in the comments section.

Action! Put a link to a video you make, however short, in the Discussion Board. 


2. Read Aloud

This is an extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge that allows students to get the text in a webpage to be read aloud. You can select which text to get read out, which is a real help. 


You can get the extension here:

Or get it in the Chrome Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/read-aloud-a-text-to-spee/hdhinadidafjejdhmfkjgnolgimiaplp




Enjoy!
