I had to use several different resources for my technology class. I have never used any of these websites before so, it was an adventure! I chose "Holidays around the world" for my unit.
Glogster- I really enjoyed using Glogster. I loved that you could add so many different things to each glog including videos, pictures and facts. My glog is about Chinese New Year. http://www.glogster.com/mtillis/chinese-new-year/g-6la7p8ku2brkchfvfasqua0
Animoto- I also enjoyed using Animoto. I really did not even know where to start when I signed up for Animoto. I had to go look up a youtube video to show me. After I saw the video, it was very easy. I did my Animoto video on Christmas in Germany. I am very lucky that I have a student in my class who just moved from Germany. I called her mom and luckily, she had several Christmas CD's that were in German.

Voki- I chose Voki as my free choice. I thought that Voki would be great to use in the classroom. Introducing my children to a new topic by using Voki would keep them interested.

I was familiar with voki too and when I tried to create a voki, but it kept telling me I needed to use the classroom version. How did you get around this?
ReplyDeleteIt never told me that I needed to use the classroom version. Sorry that I couldn't help!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge ffan of Christmas anyway, so it was enjoyable to watch your animoto on a German Christmas.
