Grow Your Tool Box

For the Global Read Aloud I used Padlet to share our thoughts on two books. 


The first one we posted if we thought the it was a duck or rabbit in the book Duck! Rabbit! and why.


For the second book, It's Not Fair!, we first created an avatar using Tellegami and recorded ourselves talking about a time that wasn't fair.  Then, we posted our links on one class Padlet and then Tweeted them to our partner class!  I even included the link in our weekly electronic email to the parents using Smore. I have no idea if or how many apps I smashed here :)

Collaborate to Innovate

I met with Stacy Brown, 21 century learning coordinator, to talk about how she would lead a Mystery Skype with my class.  We also brainstormed ways to integrate technology into the Global Read Aloud with the class we were partnered with.  I also learned how to set up a Skype Account.

Smore Newsletter

I have helped many of my colleagues this year set up their newsletter with Smore.  It is just a great tool to use and it seems like lots of teachers/teams at school are getting on board to use it for their classroom as well!

Green Screen for Class Mayor Speeches

I used the Green Screen App to create backgrounds for my class mayor speeches that I recorded on the Ipad.  I then created a YouTube link and shared it with the class parents.  Although I have already used the green screen app last year, I did share the tool with my colleague to help her use it for her video.


Watch the cute class speeches here:
