Penny+McIntyre

My name is Penny McIntyre. I get very excited about using technology in the classroom.

I found this great video on Edustar that explains how Sharepoint can be used in a school.

I thought you might like this recipe for an awesome chocolate cake that I make for the coffee shop. I also cooked it for my husband for his 50th - Everybody loved it. Just make sure your tin is big enough or it will bubble over & make a real mess of your oven!!

I love the embed video capability of wikis. You need to be careful at school though because not all schools allow you tube, so if it is blocked, kids might not be able to watch it.

This is a youtube video on the top 10 Funny Baby videos. I found that youtube is the easiest to embed, but you can also just add a link

media type="youtube" key="ZWHpcKXt-qQ" height="315" width="420" You can also download videos from Youtube using YouTube downloader and save them as .wmv files to be used in power points or just for kids to access where they can't get youtube using windows media player.. This is one I downloaded and converted using YouTube Downloader and converter. You will need to allow the website to use the plug in Windows Media Player, then it will play on the wiki. However, this is not the preferred option as you will see. It is really useful for putting in power point or other presentations that are not web based. media type="file" key="Start Sewing- How to Thread a Sewing Machine.wmv" width="300" height="300"

Over the past couple of years, I have made quite a few wikis - some more successful than others! I thought you might be interested how I use wikis in the classroom.
