iPad: Week 7 - Book Report Freebie

We are big into AR (Accelerated Reader) at our school and the teachers love to see students meet their AR goals. Since I'm not in the classroom full time, I have little to do with AR and goal meeting. I had a teacher ask me, though, if I had something that would allow students to "report" on books they were reading through the use of the iPads and an app. At the time, I didn't have anything made or really anything in mind, but I knew that I could come up with something.

If you follow Teaching With Appitude, you will see that she uses Pic Collage to do so many wonderful things in her classroom. Well I decided that I was going to make a Book Report Rubric to use with Pic Collage. I posted it FREE in my Teacher Pay Teachers store, so I just wanted to share it with you!

I ended up using this in many of my classes for them to share about a book that they have read that they really like. I just love reading their opinions on the books (and their summaries)!


Snatch up this freebie to use with Pic Collage in your classroom!

Build Your Wild Self {Animal Adaptations}

Build Your Wild Self  was a site that I just stumbled upon, but was probably one of my students favorite activities that we did all year. Basically, students are able to create themselves by playing with their body, hair, eyes, mouth, clothes. They can then make themselves "wild" by adding headgear, ears, face, arms, bottoms, backsides, and tails that are all body parts of wild animals. This activity isn't all fun though - there is educational value too! Once the students are done creating their "wild self" they will click I'M DONE. This will take them to the next page where it will explain to the students what is "wild" about them. It will tell them where their wild parts came from and why those parts are important to the survival of that particular animal. So there you have it - educational and a ton of fun! Just wait to see what kind of creatures your students come up with! It will be entertaining, I guarantee you that much. Try it ou...

Powtoon {Cartoon Presentation Software}

Powtoon was introduced to me by a friend who was working on a presentation for one of our professional development days. She was talking about how boring PowerPoint could get when it was presenting information to those who were forced to attend meetings. She was going to try something different - and that is where Powtoon came in. Powtoon is a presentation software that allows you to share information using cartoons, speech bubbles, and animations.  Basically, you can make cartoons enter and exit your screen at any point, and they can share information while they are there. Think about Saturday morning cartoons that you are creating yourself to share something that is of interest to you! There are some great graphics and you can even add your own images and sound. Let's be real here, who wouldn't like a presentation where cartoons are teaching you about the next latest and greatest in the world of education? Try it out & let me know what you think, Mrs. Tech ...
