Tool #5 Producing with Web 2.0 Tools!

My students each created a Wordle last year with help from learning buddies. They wrote a list of words that described them and put them all into a Wordle. Their work was displayed in one of our windows during the week of the authors fair.

I tried Animoto and really like how user friendly it is. I created a short slide show clip using my pictures from my vacation to Destin, Florida with my cousins.

I used IMovie to create a movie at the end of the year using pictures that I took during our year together. The kids and parents both enjoyed this special keepsake. It will definately be a project that will carry on over the years.

I played around on Storybird for a little bit... what a neat idea!!! It allows the student to write their own story and gives them the illustration to help with ideas at the same time.
