Second Graders at Glenvar Elementary just completed their annual Animal Research Project. They researched animals using a google custom search and created powerpoints about them! Check out their work below!

Need to know how to create a sock worm? Or banana split milkshakes? What about a pillow, potato woman, hamburger, or a friendship bracelet. Students in Mrs. Devlin’s class created videos to show you how!
In this project, they wrote step by step directions on storyboards, took pictures with digital camearas, and used photostory to record and create digital stories with step by step directions
.
Take a look a few examples below, and check out all their stories on Mrs. Devlin’s Class wiki!
Mrs. Devlin’s class has been at it again…this time explaining subtraction with regrouping using Voicethread! Check out their awesome projects (and leave them a comment or two)!
Third Graders went on a trip to Apple Ridge farms this month. Despite camera difficulties, they were able to get enough photos to use for digital stories! The day after the field trips, we loaded the pictures into the iPod Touches, grabbed some microphones, and had students quickly create a “What we learned videos” using the StoryRobe App. Here are all their stories, together in one video. Check it out:
A set of ActivExpressions will be arriving at Oak Grove, Clearbrook, and Glenvar Elementary. I’m so excited for you and your students!! The ActivExpressions work much like the ActiVotes, BUT they also include features that allow you to ask more than just multiple choice questions. Now, using the Expressions, students can “text” in answers…and do things like put a series of items in order, or rate something on a Likert scale. The kids are going to love them!
I have a flipchart which I’ve altered (Debbie Dawson created the orginal form) that we can use to introduce both you and your students to the ActivExpressions. After you get an idea of how they work, I also have directions for creating your own activities!! If you are interested in having me come into your room with the Expressions, just send me an email and let me know.
