Happy Star Wars Day!

I often get asked, “What is the quickest way for my students to video record themselves on their Chromebooks”. I usually suggest WeVideo or Screencastify. But, there is an update which will make the solution to this question even easier. The Chrome OS camera app now takes both pictures and videos! The videos can be directly saved to the Chromebook under downloads or to Google Drive.

Google Forms - Can Now Grade Short Answers!!
The ability to make a Google Form into a quiz has
been around for quite a while now. The quiz feature
will automatically grade questions such as multiple
choice, dropdown and checkboxes. Now you can add
short answers and have them scored as well. You
will enter in any of the possible correct answers in
the answer key and there is also a checkbox to
mark all other answers incorrect.

I hope your weekend is filled with the smells of spring flowers, freshly mowed grass and cooking on the grill.

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
