This week, we continued learning about Interactive White Boards (IWBs). There are literally so many uses for it, and there are so many actions that you can use in a flipchart. I have decided to do my lesson for first grade on money. My lesson will involve naming the different coins and maybe some bills, knowing the value of each coin, being able to combine different coins to produce a certain value, and applying these skills to real-life situations. All of these correspond to TN state standards, which I will include after I have completed the project.
We also learned about Timetoast and Animoto this week, which are two more Web 2.0 tools. Timetoast is a way to produce timelines, which could be used in various ways. The example that I created (seen below) was just a timeline of my life. An older elementary schooler would be able to produce one of these for a potential project.
We created videos using Animoto. This tool allows you to select certain photos and videos to put in a video/slideshow. Unfortunately, the free version doesn't allow you to select the time span of the pictures or which clips of any videos to use. It also only allows you to make a 30 second video. I think this tool would be very interesting to use, but I would prefer the version in which you would have to pay for the extra tools. This is my video:
Make your own slide show at Animoto.
