Easy Slideshow!!

By Anonymous -
We have Fun Friday's in our room.  I find a fun site for the students to try.  Here is our Fun Friday site for today!


Sometimes you just need an easy way to create online content and Colgate has created a fun and quick way to do just that.  The Colgate site allows students to create a multimedia slideshow with images, text and sound.  The students can then share their slideshow by playing it right on the Colgate site or emailing it to someone or even embedding it onto a blog or wiki.  The images to choose from are mostly animals, nature or sports.  The text is made up of mostly adjectives.  So, I would have students work on matching good adjectives with the images.  Here is an example of the slideshow I made:

So much fun - very easy - had trouble registering at first - no RED REGISTER at bottom to finish the registration process - tried it again - and there it was - weird - also, the size of pictures uploaded has to be less than 2 MB - which I was surprised the picture I wanted to upload was that big - so I just made one using their pictures - did you see it? Can we all use my class email address - or do I have to wait until we're able to get all the students an email address?

I'm not sure if your students can all enter under one email address. I didn't even bother to register. I just used the pictures they provided us with. If you find out the answer to whether all students can use your email address, let us know.

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. 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 ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
