Great Interactive Dictionary Site

By Anonymous -
Hi Everyone!

Here is a link to a great interactive dictionary site for students to use.  We used it to create word webs for our vocabulary words.  The students also used the "Say it" feature that allows them to hear the word.  Each word in the web also gives a definition when you hover over the word.
 


A great site to make a word web on is bubbl.us.  This site takes a little practice, but students get the hang of it pretty quickly.

I love your blog. My class used the Colgate site on Friday and had a blast! I'm planning to use the Internet safety site too. Thanks for the hints on the email. I'd love a copy of your letter.

Wow! Thanks Deb for all your great websites and video tutorials. I just finished viewing the tutorials on downloading videos from your flip camera to movie maker. I'm so excited to begin using this technology with my students.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape.

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase.

Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
