Christmas Resources

By Anonymous -

It's that time of year!  Do you need some fun Christmas sites for your students that are still educational?

Well here is one of the best collections I've found from the wonderful KB Konnected.  Karen Bolotin is the creator of this site made in Jog the Web.  


KB...Konnected



I've written about Jog the Web in the past.  Click here to learn more about Jog the Web.


Our students are enjoying exploring these sites.  Did I mention that there are currently 151 sites to visit?  (Now that's a collection!)



One thing we taught our students is how to go from Jog the Web directly to the site being shown since it is often difficult to view the entire site on Jog the Web.  Here is a screen capture showing how to do this.


Last week we used a site  on the Jog which allows you to create your own gingerbread cookie.  Students designed their cookie and then used the snipping tool (read about the snipping tool here) to take a screen capture.  We then took the picture and made it our desktop background.  


Our students are really becoming quite skilled with all of these tools and settings.  


Happy Holidays and enjoy KB Connected's collection.  I would like to personally thank Karen for all that she does to share technology and resources with us.  She is amazing!

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.

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. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

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. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. 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
