School 2.0 in SA

I am always inspired by Tom Barrett and what he gets up to in his class and within his e-learning community. This morning he lets us know (via twitter) about his latest collaborative little project (conducted in Google presentation) called “# (and growing) Interesting Ways* to use your Pocket Video Camera in the Classroom”

This is the first time I have used Google docs presentation and it was a very enjoyable experience! Very simple and easy to use. So the main aim is to create (collaboratively) a slideshow with ideas for using video capturing devices in the classroom. Once you get to the presentation, you can chat to others viewing it and ask questions.

To become part of this little project…

• Go to the presentation and take a look at what has been contributed.
• Add your one slide, one idea and one image:
  • Direct message Tom (d tombarrett  or @tombarrett) (the creator of the presentation) via twitter or e-mail him at thomasgeorgebarrett [at] googlemail [dot] com and ask him to add you as a collaborator (give him your e-mail address).
  • Sign into Google docs with your Google e-mail address and password
  • Once he has added you, you will see the document in your Googledocs list
    
  • Double click on it, which will open it in a new window/tab
  • Click on Slide (top menu), and choose New Slide and pick a template slide
  • Create your slide and save (As easy as that -for help with how to use google docs presentation, click here)
  • Change the presentation title slide to match the number of ideas.
  • Let Tom know that you have created the page (tweet about it to @tombarrett and don’t forget to add the document address for others in your network to also get involved!)
