MY FAVOURITE EMBEDS FOR EDUCATIONAL WIKIS AND BLOGS

Google Calendar is a quite interesting tool to embed in our wiki. The most important advantage of this tool is that parents can view the calendar on your page or if the page is public they can subscribe to it, so they can know everytime what their children have to study and what their homework is. Parents can control their children´s work. This is a quite useful tool in order to mark class events and major deadlines among other things. It could be a good way of organizing the course. To find the embed code follow these directions.


Another relevant tool to take into account could be Slideshare. This tool allows us to convert our PowerPoint presentations into the embeddable slideshows. This tool can be very useful, from my point of view, to embed different slideshows in our wikis, so students can see these presentations and learn more about the subject.


An amazing tool which help us to make photo music videos is Animoto. To create a video is very easy, and once we have created it, it can be embbeded on our wiki or blog. Web 2.0 has a lot of possibilities, and this one is very representative in order to encourage our students to study and to improve in a very atrractive way, through music and images. At the same time and with the same activity, students learn and enjoy themselves.
