Teacher Spolight Feb 09

February 18th, 2009 — collaboration, ideas, teacher spotlight, technology

Our teacher Spotlight for this month is on Marilyn Brewer!

Her AP CA IV students used Photostory to convey interpretations of various poems to prepare for the AP exam.  Since students in previous years created Movie Maker and iMovie projects, students were comfortable using the technology.  Using photos, music, and narration, the students creatively expressed their interpretation of the poem.  Photostory is available free from Microsoft and can be downloaded to any computer.  The students worked very hard and did a wonderful job! These will soon be posted on the BVW Productions page.

Neat Sites

January 15th, 2009 — ideas, neat sites

Graphjam.com:  Create a graph in seconds.  (Some published graphs are somewhat “edgy” – so double-check before using with students.)

 

Piclits.com:  “Creative writing site that matches beautiful images with carefully selected keywords in order to inspire you. The object is to put the right words in the right place and the right order to capture the essence, story, and meaning of the picture.”

 

Searchme:  A visual search engine.  Actually see the pages in the results list.
