Creating a Visual Dictionary on the iPad Pic Collage (free), is one of my favorite apps to use on my iPad. It creates great looking Scrapbook pages of multiple images in no time. Today, as I was planning with our first grade Hebrew teacher, how to upgrade a traditionally taught vocabulary project (creating a dictionary of their weekly vocabulary words in Hebrew), we saw the opportunity to use PicCollage with students in the classroom. (My apologies in advance for the example below is in Spanish and not in Hebrew) Reminder: The idea of a visual dictionary should/is not be confined to the World Language classroom. The ideas was for the students to take photos, email photos from home or find photos online to represent their weekly Hebrew vocabulary words. Double tapping on the image, will bring the Photo editing menu, choose “Clip Photo” to clip the object out of the background. Just use your finger to draw around the outer edges of your object. Once the text is placed on the canvas, simply drag and drop the text into its location.

Game maker How Flocabulary Works Writing is a critical part of the learning process and is supported by research and standards, from Bloom's Taxonomy to the Common Core. When students write their own academic rhymes, they build essential writing skills and master content. Oh, and did we mention it’s fun? Explore our Writing Academic Rhymes lessons. Troisième journée Comme la lecture, l’écriture « numérique », même s’il s’agit d’une pratique considérée désormais comme ordinaire et banalisée, ne va pas de soi. La mise en œuvre de cette activité requiert des connaissances et des compétences liées aux spécificités des supports et environnements numériques – à leurs contraintes comme à leurs potentialités – qui imposent par eux-mêmes des choix d’écriture, configurent notre expression, prédéterminent nos pratiques scripturales sans que les utilisateurs en aient toujours conscience.

Using Wall Wisher in the Classroom On Friday I ran a short workshop about using online tools to brainstorm with students. One of the resources that I shared and had folks try out was Wall Wisher. Although not the most robust tool for brainstorming, Popplet is currently my favorite, Wall Wisher is easy to use and seemed to be a hit with my audience. For that reason I'm re-running a couple of posts about using Wall Wisher in the classroom. Today, I showed my special education students a short (18 minutes) video about cultural changes that took place in the US during the 1920's. At first my students were a little unsure of what Wallwisher is all about, but they quickly figured it out and they all enjoyed the class. For those who have never tried Wallwisher before, it is very easy to use. Also from April 2010.Tom Barrett has a slideshow about Wallwisher in his Interesting Ways Series.
