Free Course - A Teacher's Guide to Creating Common Craft Style Videos | Free Technology for Teachers | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

For more than a dozen years Common Craft videos have been used by teachers to help students understand topics including digital citizenship, personal finance, and many big technology concepts. One of the things that makes Common Craft videos popular is the clear and concise manner in which information is presented using a whiteboard, simple cutouts, and voice over. That style has become known as the Common Craft style and many teachers including myself have had students make videos using that style. Now Common Craft offers their own free course for teachers who want to make Common Craft style videos in their classrooms.

Which Of These 4 Presentation Styles Do You Have? - Forbes

Which Of These 4 Presentation Styles Do You Have? - Forbes | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

We all have our own presentation style, but have you ever thought about how your particular style compares to others? And the strengths and weaknesses of your presentation style?


After years of research, my team and I have found there are four primary presentation styles: the Closer, the Data Scientist, the Director and the Storyteller. You can discover your own style with the quiz What’s Your Presentation Style?


One style isn’t better than other; but picking the wrong style for a particular audience can cause trouble for even the best presenter.

Beth Dichter's insight:

Buncee is a new tool that allows you (or your students) to create presentations...think of it is a digital canvas. There is a free version and it allows you to create a 2 slide presentation. There is also an edu version available for a cost. To read a post that provides additional information check out http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=5230

Looks like a great presentation tool with plenty of possibilities for classroom and school library use. However, the free educators' account only offers two slides... Not so great!
