Tool #3

I used a word cloud to describe my classroom and displayed it on the sidebar. Something like this could be used to introduce a presentation for parents early in the school year as we describe what our prek day is like. Word clouds could also be made using the children's own words to describe anything we might be learning about or as a brainstorming activity before writing a class poem or group story.

I also created an Animoto video (shown below) using some photos I had taken last year of a Gingerbread Man cooking activity done in the classroom. Children would love seeing themselves in videos or books created this way following a special activity, field investigation, etc.

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

  1. I loved the idea of making a video of own activities in the classroom.That can make the kids be proud and motivated to participate in such wonderful and unique experiences brought over and over just to see the final results involved.Perfect
