• VoiceThread in Art!

• PhotoStory 3
  Another popular tool our WCS teachers have embraced is Microsoft’s PhotoStory 3.  This tool has proved to be very quick and easy to use!  Edgar Brown has used PhotoStory to create art lessons to post on his webpage as well as individual student projects. Here are a couple links to Edgar’s PhotoStory projects: Principles [...]

• Teacher Podcasts
  What if we looked at podcasts in Williamson differently?  Sure, the podcasting with students is great; it’s working out wonderfully and people are loving the idea.  I know it’s still a relatively new idea in the district, but what if teachers were to start podcasting?  Teachers could create short podcasts reviewing main ideas for quizzes, [...]
