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!
Friday, April 12, I had the pleasure of spending the day with a great group of educators! They are making a change in education! Media Specialists from all over North Florida came together to share the wonderful things happening in their media centers. They showcased how they are helping students and teachers learn skills for future jobs in fun and innovative ways. Suzanne Buckles from Kelley Smith Elementary School and I showcased Dash and Dot, Ozobots, Lego Mindstorms EV3, WeDo, Bloxels, and STEAM Park. It was a great day of learning and sharing across North Florida, very inspiring! @LibMakerFest
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!
