PIXICLIP
Pixiclip puts creating and recording at your fingertips as a FREE web app, that works
on all devices. PixiClip provides a screencasting, whiteboard space where you can
easily sketch a diagram, add your voice/video/image and type. The clips can be
shared but made private, hidden, or even password protected. This web app
doesnt require you to create an account in order to use it but I did notice it worked
much better in the chrome browser. On the next slide are ways you can use this
application in the classroom.
1. Flipped Lesson: This is an easy tool to use to flip a lesson. Explaining a concept
such as, a food chain, as you draw you can also include a video in the top corner
that shows you explaining it or you can just record your voice.
2. Student Assessment: Get students showing what they know by having students
explain a concept. They can easily share it with you by posting it in the blog (embed
code) or emailing it.
3. Learning Vocabulary: Have the students draw a vocabulary word and have the
other students guess it. Great way to add a creative way to review vocabulary.
(Think of the App Draw Something but for education)
4. Reflection: Have the students upload an image of something they have created
or done and share a reflection about what they learned or the process. Great for
reflecting on a Problem or Project based learning (PBL) activity.
5. Creating Story/How to: Have students create short stories to help them understand
beginning, middle and end or have them create how tos with images.
