videos and education

We recently learned how to create and edit a video in our technology class. We assigned each other different parts, created an outline/script. We had it all planned out but than we changed our mind because we realized it would take a much longer time than what we had, so we switched our idea. The video is in the post before this one. My group had fun planning and making the video.
Making a video could be used in the classroom for a variety of things. For example, making a PSA like our class did, or teaching a lesson and than having the kids create a movie of what they learned from the lesson. Also, each child could make a really short video about them at the beginning of the year so you and the other students could learn a little about them. Those are just a couple ideas and there are many more.
Overall, all age groups could make the video, but only certain age groups could actually run the camera to produce the video.

finale presentation

Finale is a great way to teach kids how to write music. I would use this in my classroom to have the kids hear music, possibly based on a certain lesson we were working on. It would also be nice to let the kids play around with it, and let them listen to the different instruments provided by the program.

kidspiration

Amy and Victoria presented the tool KIDSPIRATION. Kidspiration is a tool used to strengthen vocabulary and writing. Also, to help children grow on their math skills by involving images and numbers. It is great for group discussion.

presentations (popplet, story jumper, and wordle)

I feel popplet is very similar to Prezi. You have unlimited space to work with and you can add pictures. Popplet you can add videos and with what I have experienced with Prezi i'm not quite sure you can do that. With Prezi you have a variety of background and font colors to choose from and i'm sure you have the same option with popplet. Prezi you have different ways to enter the subjects you are talking about. For instance you can have it spin in on a different topic but more than likely it will give you motion sickness. For those who have experienced it, you know what I mean. Overall, prezi and popplet are very similar and I would use both of them in my classroom.

Story jumper would be a great tool to use in the classroom. You could have each child write their own book either in school or at home, each child could then present it to the class. Whether it is on a lesson they were just taught or it could be a begining of the year thing where they introduce themselves. The best part is you can get your own copy. I will definately use this in my future classroom

Wordle is very creative, I like how the more important the word is the bigger it gets. This tool is useful in the classroom for things like vocabulary or different lessons that are being taught.
