Hi everyone,

Welcome to our page! We are Yee Peng and Sienny and we are going to share our tools for teaching and learning N(T) Science

We explored these 3 COOL tools:

1. [|Animoto]

Animoto is a great tool for creating video. It gives us a free 30 sec length video and template for your photos/video. We just need to upload pictures, photos, or even short clip to make it a video slideshow. Students can use this to share their learning journey or project.

The good thing about this animoto is that students can share their work in their facebook, picasa, twitter, youtube, flickr, and photobucket. However we find the length is quite short. To increase the length of video, they have to pay $30 per year.

2. Pixton

Pixton is a platform web2.0 which allows us to create comic with ready templates and characters. We can even change the expression, action, and movement of the character. We find it good to illustrate scientific concept. Students can use it to show case their scientific concept, application as well as creativity. The disadvantages of this tool, it cannot be used simultaneously. Students cannot work on the same comic at the same time in the web. Well, it is still a great tool to engage students
