As an online instructor, how do you plan to incorporate news items and announcements?
News Items and announcements need to be used regularly in the online classroom; more than once/week. They should be clear, eye-catching and engaging so that students notice them and pay attention.
What resources would you reference to format news items?
I love Animoto.com for creating videos and love this example of a video News Item. I've used Zamzar.com a lot in the classroom for converting files and saving educational YouTube videos so that they can be viewed at school without firewall prohibitions.
I used GoAnimate.com to create this graphic video News Item. It was very quick and easy and my favorite part is that I was able to add voice by using a text to voice option! I love this because I don't always like hearing my own voice and it can be challenging to find a quiet moment at my house to record things. I was able to choose a language and even the country where the speaker is from. So cool!!
Here's my example:
