I realized that only some classes have movie projects. However, I think it is a great way to expand the imagination of children.

Haven’t you realized that every time there’s a camera in a family reunion, kids jump in front of it? They are totally attracted by it! It’s NATURAL for them to show off. Therefore, by giving students the opportunity to work with a camera is to give them the opportunity to show what they’re capable of!

It's Rebecca from EDM310. I love the apps that help with letter sounds. I'm passionate about children learning to read. This is such a fun way to help them learn. I love that this incorporates technology with reading so easily. I'm also a HUGE fan of imovie now that I've gotten the chance to use it several times in my class. There are many things you can use it for. I just made a book movie and it was so fun. Thanks! -Rebecca Stuart Hey! It’s Rebecca from EDM310. I love the apps that help with letter sounds.

I'm a elementary education major at University of South Alabama. First off thanks so much for a the awesome resources! I think I have bookmarked everything on this blog! I have learned some new things about searching on Google that I never knew before. It's so important for students to be taught very early on how to navigate the internet. Knowing how to use it properly will save them time by not having to mindlessly search for information. Thanks so much for taking time to share this information. My name is Rebecca Stuart.

I am in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. We are learning how to use all types of new technology for our future classrooms. I think it is great that you have a list for other teachers to use. I hope when I start teaching I will have some guidance for some great middle school math apps! Thank you for your blog post. It gave me ideas and ways to eliminate some unneeded apps for my students! Hey I am Jana! I am in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama.

We used to teach children to look at multiple book sources as a one means to verify information. If one source seemed out of the loop it was wise to research it before counting it as accurate. Today so many sites merely copy and paste information that inaccurate information can appear in multiple sites making it appear as if there are multiple resouces supporting the information. We have to inform ourselves and parents and then teach children how to deal with this new reality. Finding the source of the website information is challenging, but important.
