I'm happy to report that I had already set up a socrative account while in my T21 cohort class. We didn't have time to play with it so I will say I learned more about it by using it again and viewing both Todd's video and the one on the Socrative site. I now realize that we can only have one account to use...meaning you use it for one class at a time. I named my Room Accounting originally but thought of a better way to use it in my ICT class. When I went to the profile, I couldn't change the room name. When I did a little research on the FAQ part of their site, I believe it said I'd have to create and manage more than one account. I will be playing with that more this week.
As far as Voki, I had fun creating an Avatar but when I tried to embed it into my Introduction page, it didn't work. If either of you could help me with that, I would appreciate it. I have an email in to Todd. I viewed his video again and realized when we click on the html icon, he said to scroll down and paste the code below any code that was there. I deleted any code that was there and pasted the code from my avatar. I'm wondering if that is what I did wrong. I tried to delete the Google gadget and redo the whole process but it's still not working.
I love learning new things, but I'm a little frustrated with myself and will have to wait for help. I hope things are going better for you two. Let me know.
Well done Debbie!
ReplyDeleteIt is simple to get into these sites but they are complex and we are just skimming the surface. I had some issues also and actually tried first as instructed to just add the code at the bottom and also clearing it before pasting. Both times it would say my gaget was there. But after the save nothing visually showed up.
My link to the quiz was looks nice but doesn't work.
All in all this will build a cool tool when we get the bugs out.
With a little playing these sites can be useful tools that the students would love1
