Technology Tips

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions about using the Kindle or other devices in class?  I was trying to find apps for the Fire, but I keep running into iPad apps which are not available for the Fire.  I think we can use this post, or set up a place on the blog to add websites and apps!

I did sign up for Animoto-you or your students can create videos.  Use the link that we received via email and set up a teacher account.  You will then be able to create videos without a time limit of 30 seconds.  I think the kids can log on to your account or something, and then they are not limited by time either.  I think I will require kids to use it when making a movie trailer for a book that have read.

On another note, I have required to my seniors to create a project in Prezi.  I really like Prezi, and I have used it in the classroom.  It is hard at first but easier once you play around with it.  I am not sure how the students "like" it, but they sure have been on task!  A feat for 12th graders in March!!
