multimedia

As we've worked with this site, it's been a struggle to inspire third and fourth graders to stick with an assignment through revisions to a final product. It's also been challenging to have the students provide helpful comments to their peers.

Having students make video comments seemed like the perfect way to add a sense of importance to what they had to say. My first attempt was with a flip camera as I didn't have a web cam. It was so interesting to video tape the comments. First I was clear about the focus of the comments. Students needed to refer back to the assignment for the first journal entry for the multimedia project about immigration. I saw a new level of concentration and a seriousness about choosing the right words to say in the video.

We love science!

I do not know where the directions are for uploading images from the internet or ading them to YWP.  I have a great picture of my totem (spirit animals) from the internet.  I thought I added it to images, but have no idea where it went or, if I found it, how to make it a tag.

I am sure there must be step by step instructions somewhere.  Where?

This is where I would put a sad picture.........here.

Thank you.
