Creative+Expression

Creative Expression – Choose one of the following tools, create something (it doesn't need to be complex) and demonstrate how it could be used in instruction. Post a screenshot of your project on the Wiki with a few sentences about how it would be used. Put your initials or name by your work. Choice of Tools: Toondo, Powtoons, Glogster, Animoto, or Prezi. If you have another favorite, instructor approval is required. You are on your honor not to post something you created outside of this course. If you are already familiar with and have used a tool, try something new. Because this assignment may take a bit of time, we can stretch the deadline a few more days into next week.

Dawn Marchese: https://animoto.com/play/VPKE5rbc6wYFjJVFYFLV1g This was my first time creating a project on Animoto, but it won't be my last! It was easy to use, and I know my students will enjoy watching it. There are so many projects I could use this for. For this assignment, I used it to introduce the use of similes in writing. I would love to have my students create their own Animotos and plan to do so. It can be used across all academic areas, and I am sure my students will be extremely proud while viewing. We are learning different ways to write numbers, so I am going to have them all create a project of the various ways to show a number. The possibilities are endless. media type="custom" key="27929865"

Rebecca Wise https://www.powtoon.com/presentoons/eGeeyfEgxD1/edit/#/ Two of my students used Powtoons last week to create a presentation on the items women should avoid during pregnancy. It was great, and I was glad that I had an opportunity to create something with this tool. I created a brief presentation that will be used as an introduction to my Food Service Courses. This is a great, that took a little while for me to figure out the big picture, but a great way to make presentations more interesting to the student!



Lynda Leonett i[|https://prezi.com/elpbunrkmh13/edit/#0_0091823] This is a quick Prezi for a short story that we will be reading in ELA class. The presentation provides visuals, and a few short questions to generate ideas before reading the story. I look forward to using it in class! In the spring we have students use Prezi to visually representation their spring research paper. I'm excited to feel more at ease with using the program.It's a fantastic replacement to, what I feel, sometimes dull Power Point presentations.media type="custom" key="27932345"

Tara Swantonmedia type="custom" key="27929879" width="34" height="24" https://animoto.com/play/4xduIlX0hcB1pe01u1088g I have never used animoto before but I wanted to share my special day with everyone! I became a Mrs. yesterday! There are so many ways you could use this in the classroom but I thought it would be a great thing to do at the end of the year to highlight all the special events and activities the children do throughout the year. One of the reasons I love teaching first grade is because I get to see them grow so much. This would be a great tool to help the children see the growth they made throughout the year.

Brad Stetle r https://www.powtoon.com/online-presentation/dkwnDtxmLxU/#/ I posted an example of how I would use this in my Health class. I often times have students create short storyboards in health class to describe the topic we are discussing. We are currently talking about the Muscular system, which is what my video is showing.

Flora Valdivia-Coe https://prezi.com/ofrr-4jwhcxo/edit/#1_24309637 I used Prezi to create a presentation of Order of Operations in math. I would use this presentation in class to describe the order of operations and then show the attached video that would go through examples. Students could have access to this prezi to review and refer to as they work. It is an alternate way of presenting topics - rather than copying from the board. It is a great way to incorporate technology and a reference tool for students to have at their fingertips!
