thing 20

I visited Prezi, the scholastic classroom organizer, and comic creator at Read Write Think.  These will all e be very valuable to me.  The one chose to spend a little more time with was Domo.  Powered by goAnimate, it says that it is the school version of goAnimate which is one of my favorite activities to use with kids. Domo is visually kid friendly.  I really like go animate so I am a hard sell.  While the kids would probably like Domo better because of the types of characters, I think that maybe I will go back to goAnimate.

Week 6 Play Week

I know that I skipped around a bit but I am glad that I came back to do my play week.  As I looked at the 3 book sites, I chose good reads to set up an account.  I can see the benefit of looking up books for your class to get some honest opinions on the book.  For giggles and grins, I looked up Divergent.  That was pretty comical all the negative reviews for such a popular book.

My 8 year old and I played with Flickr.  I think there are some times when it could be used in the classroom and have some end of year projects in mind.  I am very intrigued by jing.  I have it and other software used and I like the format.  I likely won't learn the nuts and bolts of it until I have a real purpose to use it.
