Lesson Plan storage and sharing: LiveBinder

Suggestions for using various tools: Use Voki to record students describing something they've learned, using just 60 seconds of recording time. These can be presented to class fulfilling technology standards and presentations. Use a blog or wiki to post a student avatar or picture creation and have students post comments about the avatar or picture. (Voki) Some of the teachers at my school used voicethread with K classes. Really cute although the teacher could be heard prompting them. I think younger kids could use it for info on famous people. In small groups they could find the important info and then record it one at a time on voicethread: one tells where and where born, another tells about education, another tells about family and another tells about what they did and why we remember them.

Go to readability.com- to remove all visual distractions/ads from websites

Teachers at my school really like ReadThinkWrite.org. We've used their comic creator and acrostic poem maker http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/a crostic-poems-30045.html xtranormal.com (students create cartoons to tell a story, teach a skill, discuss a topic, and more!) Big Huge Labs- great for a variety of uses. Motivational posters, trading cards, magazine covers, etc. This has a great list of applications- http://langwitches.org/blog/2007/12/22/best-web-20-applications-for-elem entary-school/

Recommended for staff-- Jog the Web, Jing, and Youblisher

Making Video or audio projects/digital storytelling: tool to use. (interactive posters) o Here's one example for younger children- take pictures of kids in the library and create an animoto video for them to see. Can they find their picture? o I have used Animoto with first and second graders and they loved it. I have also used Bookr. re-tellings, podcasts, book reports, learning http://5daled2010.wikispaces.com/Photosynthesis+Raps http://www.zooburst.com/book/zb0_4ce4230ec59e4
 * Glogster.com- multi-dimensional learning! So fun and and easy
 * Animoto- Good for all ages.
 * Voicethread, GarageBand, or Audacity - use for story
 * Blabberize.com - so cool! Example using Blabberize.com to show
 * Xtranormal
 * Zooburst is my new fave for digital storytelling:

Using Wikis or Blogs: Wikispaces- The students use wikis mainly to publish their work and peer review. wordpress.com-for blogging (good for monitored peer review) Blogger.com- good blog site. Ning.com - good for building community within a classroom. Gaggle.net - safe (filtered), online learning tools. Examples of blogs and wikis in practice- http://ktoponce.wikispaces.com/ - this one is a great example of a class wiki/blog. http://fuhsag.wikispaces.com/ - another great example of a wiki in use. Great examples: My main blogsite address is- http://newresearchprocess.blogspot.com And the main site for my middle schoolers is: http://centralmslibrary.blogspot.com From these sites, the right menu has the blogs I create for each collaborative unit. Example of using a wiki to communicate and engage students http://5daled2010.wikispaces.com/message/view/Photosynthesis+Raps/216168 25
