Tool #3




View Rock (geology) and over 3,000,000 other topics on Qwiki.

Hotlinking a video was fairly easy...I am almost a little nervous that I didn't do something right because it was so easy.  I love the idea of hotlinking video clips to my lesson plans...it's so nice to have everything in one place and just a click away.   I then decided to go ahead and try to embed the video and it worked with a little help from a friend (Thanks Theresa) It makes it a easy to share with teammates as well.  I saw some cool things on Qwiki.  I like Blinkx because it is a quick way to find clips that support what you are looking for.  I already use Discovery Education a ton in my classroom and love what it has to offer.
I also learned that it is very important and essential to give credit where credit is due and to really know where/how you are getting/sharing your information.

  1. Yes...giving the credit is very important! And hotlinking makes it easy to have things ready to go! What did we do before the internet!?!
