Hello everyone! After a small break I want to introduce you a web tool called PIXICLIP. It is an interactive whiteboard on which you can save and share your work online. I presented this tool in class with my friend Ilker and we found this tool very useful for educational purposes. According to me, the best feature of this tool is it's simplicity. You don't have to subscribe, download or upload anything.You just search PIXICLIP on Google and start doodling!
As I said, it is very simple that almost everyone can understand how it works in 5 minutes. We have a pencil, pen, eraser, scale, undo or redo buttons which help us to doodle. We have only 6 colors which I think is too limited, few more color options could be added to make it better. A very good feature of PIXICLIP is it's enability to add our voice or video recording to our work. By doing one of these, we can explain or narrate while we demonstrate.
PIXICLIP can be used by the students for storytelling or describing something as a task. It can also be used in flipped classrooms in which the teacher records his voice and explains the subject online.
Finally I want to add the negative points (according to me) of PIXICLIP. The recording time of audio and video is limited to only five minutes. So if you want to narrate or explain something which takes longer than five minutes, you have to create another file (according to the length of your subject.) The second point I want to mention is the limited number of color options. I think a few more color options would make PIXICLIP a better educational web tool.
By clicking here you can watch a quick tutorial of PIXICLİP to better understand it's features.
Oh, and I think you also should have a look at our presentation which we did in our class. Have a good time :)
