Tool 5 Web 2.0

One of the tools I decided to use was Make Believe Comics. Very creative and easy to use.




Bookr is an excellent tool.  It allows you to create a book with photos but of course the pictures only come from what is available on Flikr.




Tool 4 - Google Docs

I made a document.




I made a form.

Tool 3 - Videos

I love Lord of the Flies. It's a great story and the kids will enjoy the following trailer.





In order to show my students what a finished video using power point would look like, I'll show this video...







 I learned that you have access to many things but yes, you must be aware of copyright and fair use. For instance, I copied and pasted this statement right off the internet:  Anyone who tells you copyright and fair use issues are simple in the United States is either naive, poorly informed, or both. Intellectual property law IS complicated, and conversations about copyright issues tend to leave participants more confused rather than clear about guidelines. Because of this reality, I have tried to make this chapter as brief and concise as possible. Most people “playing with media” do not want to take a semester course or get a degree on copyright, they simply need clear guidelines

TOOL #1

So this wasn't so hard to create but how can I use this blog in my classroom?  I think students will need to create Voki's as a character in a novel and give me a clue as their comprehension of the story.
