Eines per compartir allò que ja tenim.

Hem explicat que un bloc és una bona eina per recollir-centralitzar tota aquella informació que volem donar als nostres alumnes. Potser hi ha moltes "coses" (documents, presentacions, arxius d'àudio, vídeos, etc.) que ja teniu fets i desats al vostre ordinador i que no sabeu com compartir.

Aquí us deixo un recull d'eines que ens poden ser útils per penjar al núvol els nostres materials i així fer-los visibles a tothom. Recordeu que el que fan aquestes eines és generar un codi "embed" que és el que hem d'inserir al nostre escrit (copiant i enganxant el codi a l'apartat HTML).

Idees:

1. Tots allò que creem amb Google/Xtec Documents es pot publicar a la xarxa. Quan ho publiquem, ens apareix el codi embed per a poder inserir "la creació" al nostre bloc.

2. Per penjar i compartir documents (tipus Word): Sribd.

3. Per penjar i compartir presentacions (tipus Power Point): Slideshare.

4. Per publicar documents en format "revista digital": Calaméo.

5. Per fer un muntatge fotogràfic afegint música i compartir-lo: PhotoSnack.

Podeu anar fent el registre a les diferents eines que us he seleccionat.

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2 in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter-like weather will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.^[1]
Modern customs of the holiday involve celebrations where early morning festivals are held to watch the groundhog emerging from its burrow. In southeastern Pennsylvania, Groundhog Lodges (Grundsow Lodges) celebrate the holiday with fersommlinge,^[2] social events in which food is served, speeches are made, and one or more g'spiel (plays or skits) are performed for entertainment. The Pennsylvania German dialect is the only language spoken at the event, and those who speak English pay a penalty, usually in the form of a nickel, dime or quarter, per word spoken, put into a bowl in the center of the table.^[3]

The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Groundhog Day, already a widely recognized and popular tradition,^[4] received worldwide attention as a result of the 1993 film of the same name, Groundhog Day, which was set in Punxsutawney and portrayed Punxsutawney Phil.^[5]
