We have a bunch here at UMW, and given I have been milking your work as well, it’s high time we deliver, I’ll make it top priority this week to get you a list of examples, and add them to the wiki discussion pages.

Hey Alan, Some of the projects are starting to go up. The two that are up now are standard video projects, but still kind of fun: http://gandt.blogs.brynmawr.edu/web-papers/web-papers-4-multimedia-projects/

You should see more there over the next couple of days. I hope you’ll see some good examples.

Gosh – that’s pretty impressive.

I didn’t see Photopeach in your list. It’s a nice mash-up of photo storytelling and YouTube.

Here is a link to one we made a couple of weeks ago to record our eeling advnetures on camp.

Hi Nancy–

Prezi stil has a free version (which is what I used). Limited to 100 Mb disk space which has been enough for 1 small and 1 large preso I have done.

I try my best for solid examples, but honestly on some sites, it is just hard to find things closed to education related. That’s why I keep asking among my networks and in my workshops to share examples. I am not sure that a good high school example cannot illustrate the potential to an elementary teacher (or the other way around).

Looking forward to a ‘re-vamp’ed 50 Ways. You might want to check back on Prezi since I now believe it’s a ‘paid for’ app.

Though the content will be consistent for all the presentations, I hope you’ll have examples that the particular audiences will be able to relate to. I’ve seen too many presenters use ‘high school’ content to demonstrate a concept to an audience of elementary teachers!
