Students can share monsters they have created with other students from all over the world. Once you have a class to partner with students trade written descriptions of their monsters and attempt to redraw them. Original drawings and redrawings are posted in the gallery.
incredible video of young learners taking charge of their education. A great model for a Kindergarten or preschool that may have the flexibility to teach developmentally
This would be a great tool for whole class writing. The art work is beautiful. Great for teaching writing prompts. May work well for those students who need support to get ideas about writing.
This is a great site! It's visual, beautiful and engaging. I agree with you Kate, this would be a great way to teach writing and get kids to jump into writing. I love the idea of incorporating art into writing.
I like that this is so simple. I think it will work great to not only copy and paste text, but also to have text typed directly into the program. I can see kids using this to hear their writing and listen to others writing. Can't wait to try it with kiddos. I can see this being used with all kinds of learners for different purposes. Computer voice says words with more than one syllable funny. May help when teaching kids about syllables.
Gets rid of distractions on videos.
Great when sharing classroom videos.
Would get rid of the options on the side that tend to distract kids.
Would be great for use in classroom or to show parents at parent night. I can see it helping with kids who have attention problems.
Reading leveled websites.
Great for Science/Social Studies Facts
Great for quick look up when doing animal research
May help for higher end learners and struggling learners to find information at their level or for more of a challenge
Great for use with all learners. Would be good to use the comprehension one to guide students through a retell. Printable. Students could bring home to share. Being able to add information would help those who need clues or reminders to help with a retell. Good for learners of all levels. May need help gluing and folding cube after print out.
Create Simple Comic Strips. Students may be able to use with bare bone sentences. Would be great for fine motor issue kids. No drawing just pick one. Printable
Online book creator. Can be created by adults or kids later in the year. Can be recorded to read a loud. Might be good us for children that need to have information presented to them in a different way numerous times. I am thinking like the expectations of the room in a story for students to listen to and refer to. May be able to have students create drawings so it becomes a class project.
Check to see if school has an account. Great site that has popular kids books that can be read aloud through the computer. Great for SPED kids for hearing how a fluent reader sounds. Some books are available in other languages too. May be interesting to listen to and compare.
Great resource for instructional purposes. Neat ideas. Keep on hand as a reference. Would be a great resource for new teachers starting out. But is also a great tool to find an idea to meet differetn learners. Print and put in a binder
