Thing 8, Thing 21

I need to take time to explore Storybird and GoAnimate a bit more. At first glance, I am always thinking that I would like to share the technology with my older students for them to use when planning lessons.

I also think that this is the best replacement for making books in the storytelling unit for my entry level class. I see this as a great opportunity for collaboration with Language Arts for writing and illustrating a story for preschoolers.

There are some concepts/essential questions that could be better introduced with digital storytelling to better grab student's interests. We take lots of pictures in our lab and classroom and I try to use real life experiences in my lessons on a regular basis to promote interest in learning. I love all the tools for utilizing photos that you have shared. It's going to take time and thought (as well as trial and error) to use them effectively.

I could save the image to my desktop and upload as a picture, but could not find the code snippet to embed.

Week 6, Thing 13



I have tried this several times and keep getting the same message. It won't embed as a wall. Here is the link for the wall. Wallwisher for cudacare ; however, I was able to embed it on my edmodo site without any problems.

Week 4, Thing 9

More fun. I think the girls would like to use this site for their lesson plans with the "littles."

Week 4, Thing 8

This was fun and lots easier than I thought it would be to create the avatar.

I found out how to add a link to the avatar if it's not possible to embed - of course I found it by making an error in posting it the first time.

Week 3 Thing 7

This is a great site and so much easier than photoshop. I missed somewhere how to wrap text in the post and had to go back and view the tutorial again. I really appreciate the great job you did with directions.
