Email Screencast

I made a screencast using Screenr this week.  So excited to use it with my second graders.  I made it to help them email our Trucker Buddies.  We send them letters but our technology goal is to learn to email this year.  This screencast will allow me to give directions on the Smartboard and be moving around my room to help students at the same time.  We can even rewind to hear it again!  Can't wait to try out some other lessons.

Copy of Landmarks for 2nd grade

Check out my Animoto for my class. =)
Copy of Landmarks for 2nd grade

I created this movie to use in my second grade classroom for social studies.  During October we learn about our national and local landmarks.  I take my class to visit the local ones.  We take a day and spend time learning more about the special places in our area.  This movie will be the perfect way to start the lesson.  I'm excited to WOW my kiddos and hear their oooohs and aaaahs.  This was a fun project.  If you haven't tried making an Animoto you have to check out this site.  Go to animoto.com/education so you can get an upgrade to make longer movies.  I'm excited about making more to use in the classroom.  It will be a fun way to introduce new units of learning!
