Week 9 Thing 22

Week 8 Thing 21

I can see using Storybird in Language Arts for writing.  Having the kids select pictures/art work then come up with a story to go along with them would really have them use their creative juices.  This can also be used instead of book reports.  Students can retell a book they just read...extend it....or change the ending.  I liked creating one.  Also you can use it collaboratively.  More than one person can add/create/write on one story.  Talk about collaboration!

Week 8 Thing 20

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Week 5 Thing 12

Google Advanced Search will allow me to safely let the kids find information at their level.  It will also help me when I am searching for things....only gives me appropriate leveled information!  :)

Here is a comic strip that I created! I can think of so many things to do with this across the curriculum. I liked the movie listing all the different sites that you can use and the 26 ideas. Can't wait to try it!

Week 3 Thing 5-b

Let's try this again.  In the Mixbook galleries I found a book that I feel would help with student's creative writing.  Students are given selected photos...they can arrange them in any order.  Then they compose a story to go along with the pictures

Here is the smilebox I made of my new puppy!  Creating it was really easy.  Embeding it here was another story.  I hope I did it right!  If not...I will try it again!  :)
