Bye Bye Edu 584

Can't believe that another class has come to an end. However, I really loved this class because I was able to learn so much and am able to incorporate it into my classroom. I will not lie that at times it was overwhelming and frustrating but it was all worth it in the end. As a way to end the class I decided to make a Goanimate and an Animoto. The Goanimate explains what I have learned and how I will integrate it into the classroom. The Animoto is a wrap-up of what web 2.0 tools I have learned about in this class and plan on using. It also shows tools I will use as a teacher and a little bit of digital storytelling. Hope you enjoy it!

Using Web 2.0 Tools in Class

Tomorrow in class we are going to talk about Spectacular Sights in America as an ending to our theme about exploring for this week. We are going to pretend to take a trip on a plane and visit The White House, The Statue of Liberty, The Grand Canyon, Yellow Stone National Park and The Gateway Arch. I have a Smartboard Lesson to go with it and I decided to create a quick video in Goanimate to hook the students and an Animoto for when we are done with the lesson. The Animoto will be like if we are on the airplane taking the trip. What do you think of these ideas? If there is anything I can change please let me know. I am trying to incorporate as much technology in my classroom as I can.

Here is the Goanimate Video:

In the Animoto, as you will see some places have more pictures than others. The reason being it was hard to find photos I could use that were not copyrighted. Most of my pictures came from EveryPhotoStock and some from Flickr.

I hope my students enjoy it.
