Framing

I know a little bit about framing, essentially running another site through my google site. I've experienced with it using Edmodo and my Khan academy site. Khan academy has a "knowledge map" that is so dense it is almost impenetrable. My students often don't know which objectives they should be working on. So through edmodo.com, I can make folders of the objectives I want them to be working with, and then they can work on their Khan objectives within the template of the Edmodo site. That's framing right? I get the best of both worlds, the functionality of khan, and the organization of Edmodo.

Today in tech group we're going to talk more about framing, specifically using iframe. I'm curious about using ipads in my classroom, especially the idea of students doing their own screencasting (especially during review days) and putting their problems/solutions on line.

This is me taking e-notes on his presentation!
Roni uses Showme, record, save, share, public, description, save and it uploads to the showme server.

Roni's site: tutoring has his showme site framed in his google site.

How to frame on your google site: Create a new page, choose where it goes, go to insert gadget, more gadgets, type in iframe, Iframe gadget, select, choose size, type in the url and save.

Questions I have: If students use showme, how do they link to my site? What are some other ideas of using framing within my google site?
