Open House is right around the corner, so you will create a pretend magazine cover for your parents featuring a student of the year- you! I will bring the digital cameras to your classroom where you and your partner will take pictures of each other with the props you have chosen for your cover. During our next class session we will head to the lab and use the Magazine Cover Maker from BigHuge Labs to create the final product.
Thanks to Kevin Jarrett for this cool idea!
Let your imagination go wild as you design a cover page for your Heights Memoir in Glogster. You will also take a picture of yourself with Photobooth and insert it into your word processed memoir document.
In June you will meet your new teacher for next year during Step Up Day. Let’s create a trading card so she can learn a little bit about you. Take a picture of yourself using the computer and Photobooth. Key in your introduction paragraph in Word. Head to Big Huge Labs Trading Cards and create your card, cutting and pasting your paragraph into the description area. We will save the card, insert it into Word, resize it, and make a duplicate (one for you and one for your teacher). Finally we will print the page with the two cards on card stock paper.
As participants of the Winter Wonderland Wiki Project, we will create a winter picture in Kidpix. After we complete our pictures, we will record the class singing a winter themed song in GarageBand. We will mash the two together into a Web 2.0 application, and then place the final product on our project wikispace pages.
