Day 11: Lions and Tigers and Books! Oh My!

I love presentation day! I find this is very useful to see other ideas and things that I could incorporate into my own classroom.



I love how Joy and Nike made a new to school book. It's a great idea for students who are new to a school (new grade, or recently moved). It is quite amazing! I also loved having the "library" right in Book Creator! Many students read books on their devices now, this is a great way to get them to read something educational :)

John and Laurianne had some great ideas! I really enjoyed the one where you could create a comic book about your everyday life. Who doesn't want to be a superhero?! I also really enjoyed their idea of creating a glossary of new terms. This would be immensely useful in science or math classes where students often encounter new words. And finally you've touched my heart with the Harry Potter reference! I totally want to read a news story with picture and audio now!

Holly and Alecia had a great book! I loved the idea of using the book for Meet the Teacher. Such a neat idea! I love the idea of making a memoir for a portfolio over the course of the year. It is a great way to see a students progress from September to June. I love every different way they talked about using Book Creator. I really enjoyed how they told us about using as a way to see other people's point of view.

Tracy and Joanne definitely brought a different perspective to the Book Creator app. It was awesome! I love how there are so many ways to address the social side of learning. It is really important to develop skills for interviews, creating CVs, references, etc! This is so useful for developing these skills!

Suzanne and Dave presented many great ways to use Book Creator! I loved the idea of making a Yearbook for your class! What a great way to keep a memory! I also love the illustrate your writing idea! I often give my students a picture to use to create a story, or a story and get them to create the picture. Book Creator is a great way for them to represent these various things!

The next group had a great many ideas! I really enjoyed the idea of doing show and tell with an audio video book! The punctuation book is a great way to introduce and present grammar. I am often looking for new ways to do grammar mini lessons and this is a great way to do it! Funny Movie Maker is a great way to incorporate some silliness!

Michelle and Sherry had some fantastic ideas! I love the idea of an interactive cookbooks! The collaborative class trip reflection is a fantastic idea! A great way to keep memories! I never thought of using Book Creator as an exit ticket! What a great idea! I loved the how to video on yoga. It is great for people who are afraid of going to classes or looking silly. It's a great way to get some learning done before class!

Nick and Sue had many great ideas just like the rest of the class. I enjoyed the pattern activity. It is really important to present this to students at a young age. Another great idea is creating a sports broadcast for students who can't participate in P.E. class. A great way to get them involved! I love the drama game idea! This is a great way to get students to do group work and have fun doing it!

The last group had many great ideas for various levels! I loved how so many aspects were included in their book. I love the family tree book! Adding pictures and interviews of family members is genius! I love the sentence starter idea on each page to help with creative writing.



At first I was a bit worried about completing this assignment on time to the quality that I expect of myself, but after finishing the assignment and seeing everyone's presentation I am really pleased with the effort that everyone put in and how many great new ideas we have!
