I am so excited about all the new things I am learning through these tutorials. I am also so excited that we had an extra week to play around with them.
Classrooms across the district have been sharing and collaborating through Hangouts. One of our fifth grade teachers wrote a grant for a weather station and invited all fifth grade classroom in the district to check it out through Google Hangouts! We had four classes participate! The students from the other classes were excited to see other fifth graders in the district and had great question! What a great way to bring the district together!
Here is the green screen studio we set up in one of our elementary schools! The gifted teacher started using the room with the 2nd - 5th grade students. They are making story boards and learning how to use the cameras, download their footage and edit it in iMovie. Some of the students are using photos for their background and others are drawing the background. They are excited to be in their own pictures. Check back for updates on how the green screen studio works out!
