You can see my sample below and take a look at all the student samples on this website.
FLASH WEBTOOLS SOFTWARE
They created all the parts of the video themselves, including the animations and music, using software on the computer (Photo Booth for the interview/green screen, Keynote for animations, Google Earth for satellite imagery, and iMovie for video editing) as well as web tools ( SitePal for voiceovers, Aviary Education for soundtracks, Screencast-O-Matic for recording, and Blabberize for the “talking heads”). Students chose to work with a partner or solo, and they selected a famous person to research. Favale is publishing the digital copy on her blog so that families can view it at home.ĭuring the week of July 25-28 I taught a summer school class at Springfield Elementary called “Lights, Camera, Action!” I had rising 4th and 5th graders and our goal was to create educational videos for teachers to use in their classrooms about different famous people. A hard copy of the book will be given to the ESL teachers to use with their students. When they were finished, we combined all the projects together into one book that you can view online here. They researched their symbols using books, websites, videos, and classroom posters.
Students worked with partners to choose a symbol and create a page describing the symbol using art materials (markers, construction paper, glue), the laptops (Pixie), or the iPads (StoryKit). Since Holladay has a high ESL population, they thought it would be a great idea to publish a magazine that the ESL teachers, students, and their families could use to learn about American symbols. Favale, a 1st grade teacher at Holladay Elementary, had the Reflective Friends team come to her class and observe her lesson today, so I wanted to share it with you! Her students have been learning about American Symbols: the Statue of Liberty, the bald eagle, the Washington Monument, and the U.S.
