3rd Grade – Students posted the Copyright and Creativity video on Understanding Copyright to their blog. The video is posted below:

 

4th Grade – Students used the TallTweets website to turn their snowman slideshow in google slides into a GIF.  Students saved the GIF to their desktop to post to their blog next week.  Students prepared the slideshow by first deleting the “items” slides and then sharing the slideshow so that anyone with the link had access.  Students set the width to 1200 and slide duration to .3 before creating and saving the GIF.  We had issues using Google Chrome as the browser on a few of the macbooks in the computer lab.  On several computers, the GIF would show downloading, but would not give the pop-up text box to name the file or indicate where to save it.  Using Safari to create the GIF allowed students to get it saved to their desktop where they could locate it to post to their blog. I LOVE the way these turned out.  Here are three student examples:

5th Grade – Students continued working through the modules in Typing Club.
