Students and teachers can use animotos many ways as well. Teachers can use animotos to introduce a topic and get kids interested (they love the music). Students can create animotos to share what they have learned especially if timing is limited. Sending animotos is easy. I am having trouble embedding today. Go figure. Vokis are cool. I know my students will love this!! This will definitely change the way they write, send and read/hear emails. I embedded the small player, so make sure you click on the teeny tiny play arrow in the bottom left corner of the player.

I liked Bookr. Simpler process than Photo Story and has more of a book feel. Bookr would be good for a quick book reflection. Like Wordle and animoto, students have to be more focused. You could also use this when older students work with musch younger ones. Older students could bring in the pictures and help the younger students tell the story by typing for them. the little ones could then send the "books" home. Chocolate by
I like your idea of older students buddying up with younger ones. That is a great way to build language and instill the idea of books as communication tools. Older students could also use their own books for oral presentations to their classmates, assuming the technology for using a wider variety of images is available.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Mixbook.com. There are galleries of previously made books and directions for creating your own. I like the finished product of this much better than Bookr and it is as easy.
