Study Tools

I like the possibilities with Tagxedo. I found that it was tough at times to manoever and I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect shape. I was thinking that this could be used with a cultural project and the kids could find the shape of the country they are focusing on. When I tried to find the shape I wanted, they didn't have it and then when I tried to find an image myself it wasn't copying correctly. So, I used this one just to get my point across but I would like to tweak this a bit more. If anyone has ideas or you have found your own image, let me know! I love, love , love Quizlet!! This is perfect for that vocab practice that the kids need with each new unit. I especially loved the practice set where they listened to the word in Spanish and then had to spell it correctly in Spanish. This is so great for learning the sounds and how to start telling some of those vowel sounds apart. I will definately use this! Very easy to set up.

MV You Tube Channel

So the channel creation was easy! I liked that! Now being able to upload videos without the ads will be great!! Last year I was trying to stream a Juanes video (of course) and as it paused and buffered it froze on the stayfree maxi pad commercial!!! So, this will be helpful:) I tried to record Nilla from my phone and when I emailed to myself it came in upside down. Had a hard time trying to turn it, but on my phone it showed an option of sending if right to YouTube and it looks like it's in the right position. We taped this numerous times with Nilla sometimes going after the ball and sometimes not! Once she basically fell into the water, one time she stopped and looked at me like I was nuts and then we got this one, so here you go!

Screencasting

Ok, so I like the idea of this but as Linda mentioned, this took a TON of time and I am still having trouble with the volume. I got a video from Youtube and I made a few comments but you can barely hear them. Not sure how to change it once its added. That will be my question for next week....
