Tool #5

I had fun creating a story with the StoryBird program. What some fun pictures! Who knew I could be an author in such a quick amount of time!!
Then, I easily made an animoto account to create a animoto show! How slick it is to share information from your life, your research and your findings in addition to adding text to make it more meaningful.

I definitely see my students taking their research and connecting music to their learning as they share their animoto videos with their family and friends. Storybird is a great way to connect research, technology, reading, picture illustrations and writing.

I also think that Wordle is a great site for students learning words. Students can type in their spelling words, sight words, words from their word walls and recent learnings. It is an artistic way of viewing words.
