The new question types are date and time. As you probably guessed, the date question type allows you to ask respondents to enter a date and the time question type allows respondents to enter a time. You can combine the two response formats into one question.<br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br/><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORFMx9bFKvifo5tLJaDoZbC_2nna8SAJtCljphijLdY5d-CEMHxWx12HxephOIb2qmDKoz4W2EZJRmnJk_G3Spf5Sd4yWhXbGvB-A2mcpeV1MJC7mt8LbB8yugKjm_0FvkjWrhm6Q_E4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-05-06+at+9.58.40+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORFMx9bFKvifo5tLJaDoZbC_2nna8SAJtCljphijLdY5d-CEMHxWx12HxephOIb2qmDKoz4W2EZJRmnJk_G3Spf5Sd4yWhXbGvB-A2mcpeV1MJC7mt8LbB8yugKjm_0FvkjWrhm6Q_E4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-05-06+at+9.58.40+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br/><br/><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Applications for Education</b></span><br/>The new time and date response could be useful for asking colleagues to pick the best date and time for a meeting.

Last month Wideo <a href="http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/03/wideo-create-animated-videos-with.html" target="_blank">added a voiceover option</a>. This week Wideo added two more options that I think you'll like. Now you can quickly rearrange the sequence of the scenes in your videos through a new drag and drop scene arrangement tool. And this week Wideo added finer controls for every object in each of the scenes in your videos. Watch the videos below for short demonstrations of these new tools.<br/><br/>Scene arrangement. <br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ASTZTE3Cxq0" width="560"></iframe><br/><br/><br/>Object control.<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Tt29hdEY7Zs" width="560"></iframe><br/><br/><br/>Storyboarding.<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wvE5qufcDNY" width="560"></iframe><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Applications for Education</b></span><br/>With <a href="http://wideo.co/" target="_blank">Wideo</a> you could have your students creating explanatory videos in the <a href="http://commoncraft.com/" target="_blank">Common Craft</a><br/> style. The art of Common Craft videos is the way in which confusing <br/>topics are boiled down to a concise explanation. If your students can do<br/> the same with a topic in your class, they can prove that they know the <br/>material. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><i>This post originally appeared on <a href="http://freetech4teachers.com/">Free Technology for Teachers</a><br/></i>.<br/><br/>Come learn with me at the <a href="http://practicaledtech.com/2013/04/08/come-to-the-practical-ed-tech-summer-camp/">Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp</a>.<br/><br /></div><div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:I9og5sOYxJI"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=I9og5sOYxJI"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=yacBNp-8Bv4:VAUGxC5qnZM:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~4/yacBNp-8Bv4" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~3/yacBNp-8Bv4/new-tools-added-to-wideo-create-better.html" rel="nofollow">Free Technology for Teachers</a>
