Tool #3

This is a video that I made using pictures from my student teaching experience in Zurich, Switzerland. Animoto made it very easy to upload the photos, add music, and choose a background. The whole process only took about 20 minutes! When seeing how easy it was, I am very convinced that this is something that I can use in my classroom. It would be fun to make videos using class pictures to keep as memories throughout the year. Also, you could find pictures from the internet and use it for content related videos. For example, when studying about insects, you could find pictures of several different insects and string them together to make an insect video.

This is a wordle that I created using math words. I think that these can be used for any subject and in several different ways. For example, you could pick a topic and have all of the examples listed around it. You could also use the wordle for word studies or to help with spelling words. They are a fun and creative tool that I believe the kids will really enjoy. You can change the layout, color, and direction to make it exactly the way that you want it.
