Vialogue!

Can you believe it is almost time to get back to school, and to create excitement about using technology in the classroom I thought I would share my latest "techie site of the week" Vialogue!  Having students share around media is often a great ice breaker, and what better way to get all students sharing on an exciting and thought provoking topic.  To test out Vialogue I went on and made my first video upload and was immediately excited about the commentary.  As we move towards a flipped classroom model this type of pedagogy will become a standard teaching tool.  You can choose to make your commentary public or private, depending on if you are limiting to a classroom or public audience.

Here is my first attempt at a Vialogue!  Hope you have some fun with this tool and if you have a chance to use let me know what you think please?

Blessings to you
