Wild Weather

Glogster

Did you know a praire chicken lays between 20-23 eggs in a day? I found this out while watching a second grade class present their Glogs on endangered animals. The students used a presentation tool called Glogster. They were able to convert the old fashioned "posterboard" into a highly engaging interactive presentation tool. Several of the students added sound and a few even added videos.

During my Kindergarden computer lab, the students illustrated what they like to do in Tux Paint after reading the story I Like Me! They then recorded audio to go with their illustration. I inserted them into Photo Story.
