Tools - some new, some used, always fun to learn
New tools are explored. Some tools are re-used and repurposed for the CLMOOC experience. Here are a few that have been fun to learn.
Padlet was used to create a T-app TAG game (http://padlet.com/catmere/tapptag). This space was set up to share applications and tools that others are already using and ones they hope to try. Some interesting applications were mentioned. This resource will continue to feed some learning.
GRAPHIC FACILITATION: Sketch noting (@sylviaduckworth) and graphically capturing meetings has been of interest to me since it is part of the translation from still to moving images. The link to Aaron Johannes' blog was provided in one of the CLMOOC Make With Me google hangouts.

This is interesting animation was created from Para Para - a Mozilla sandbox. The link was provided by Kevin Hodgson during week two and I jumped in to create this quick animation. There are 8 crayons and an eraser provided. Your imagination does the work. Try it out using this link: http://parapara-editor.mozlabs.jp/sandbox

Tube Me
This tool came out of my blog post The Whole is Greater. It uses Mozilla Thimble, which I have not seen or hear of before. Kevin shared his Tube Me image about his journey through learning in a variety of contexts which go me thinking about the digital literacy map in a whole new way.

HackpadHackpad has been used throughout the CLMOOCcourse in a variety of contexts. During Make #4 I jumped in to try my hand with this tool.

Vine and Periscope
Ian O'Bryne caught my attention at the end of Week 3 with his call to action to Play with Digital Media, Stop Motion Animation and Vine. I've seen many but never tried one. Digital storytelling tools are my passion and video tools draw my attention. Badges are my 'shiny things' and make me want to see more, so when a #vineoff badge was dangled at the end of his post, I clicked to see more. This led to some rhizo-vining. Steps include:

Periscope has been mentioned in educational circles since it's release earlier this year. It's a medium that scares me a little since privacy and security issues are paramount in student safety with digital technologies. But without knowing what this digital tool can do or how it can be applied, I was making uninformed judgements.
