I have spent much time lately writing JavaScript and JQuery code with a JQuery plugin called cross-slide to make a slideshow on my class wiki. I looked at many other slideshows including some I had used before like PowerPoint and decide they were not right. I wanted a solution that was easy to add photos and captions to, I did not want students to be uploading photos, just cut and paste from the web. I also wanted the Ken Burns effect. When I saw it, it makes the show more Attention grabbing by it's movement. I also wanted scrolling captions. I have these now. However the students still are not doing their best work.
I can also print out a strip of photos I have loaded myself so the students can write cations or correct theirs.
I am getting quicker at preparing resources for making a slideshow but need to make the resources easier for the students to use.
I need to focus now on getting students to self-assess and correct their work.
