Movie Clips on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6BwNQ_pKDM

I found this assignment very helpful. I know pulling off YouTube videos and editing clips will help me in my classroom and at home. An example in my classroom would be when we read the book Polar Bear Polar Bear. In the book it talks about what different animals make. A lot of the students have not heard the noises that flamingos, zebras, or walruses make. Because YouTube is blocked through our school district, I would not be able to pull up each clip of these animals making their different sounds. Now, I will be able to find small clips of these animals making their noises and merge them into one movie. As we read the book, we will listen to each animal make their sounds.

Mapping America Worksheet

Mapping America Worksheet was a great activity to learn how to explore google documents. I would use this particular activity when teaching my "Map" unit. I like that the students can quickly learn the demographics about the town they live in.

Weather Underground

I liked being able to create a graph using google docs. I would not let my kindergarters use this program but I would like to use it to show parents where their children stand compared to the rest of the class.

This was my original picture

These are my four pictures I edited while using the befunky website.

After editing this picture, I added text and a border using webresizer.

I have a passion for photography and would love to use this program with my photos from home, or any presentation I do for my students. I would have my students use KidPix rather then a photo editor because of their age. I feel there would be fewer choices for them to choose from, and it will be an easier website for them to manipulate.

Wikipedia Changes

I added "home decor" to the list of Disney Princess supplies.

Wikipedia Comparrison

I reaserched volleyball on both the Wikipedia site and on the Britanica website. In Wikipedia, there is 40 pages of informtion explaining each part of the game of volleyball. Wikipedia explains in depth the history of volleyball, each of the rules, and the origin of the court. Britanica only has one paragraph explaining a simple definition about the sport of volleyball. It does not talk about the history or any of the rules.
