ABC's on Animoto

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

This was my second time using Animoto. I have really enjoyed it and will probably use it outside of this class. It is very easy to work with. The one and only problem I have with it is that the free version only gives you 30secs. I guess if I got serious with it and wanted to do more I could just pay for it. 

ABC Presentation

This was a fun activity. If I taught a class old enough to complete the activity I feel that the students would really enjoy it. Google docs is also a very cool tool to use with a group and very effective.

Slideshow

Google Docs... blew my mind!

Google Docs was so neat. When we started to create our document on a rock I didn't really understand the whole concept of other people being able to edit the document that I was working on. All of a sudden it said that Katie was adding something and text started to appear on the screen! I think that is so cool and could be very helpful when working on a project with a group. I wish I would have known about this sooner. It could have been very helpful in past group activities.

WebQuest

Well there were a few cool WebQuests but I don't really see a way that I could use them in an early childhood classroom. There's way to much to do on them for a 3-5 year old to do. I'm sure there are some out there that would work for that age range just none that we looked at. Even if the teacher led the children through one I feel like the children would lose interest in the activity. I do think it would work better for old children though.
