Hey Autumn! I hope you are having a spectacular Thanksgiving. I know you showed me the Sketchfu during EdTech the other week, but I was wondering... how do you think this could be applied to an English classroom? I know we're both supposed to be teaching Frankenstein. What if we tried to use it to draw what our students think the Creature looks like? And I think the GoogleMaps idea would be perfect. I know I'm rambling, but can you imagine how much hilarity/fun/learning might ensue if the teacher was directed to draw the Creature by the class? Or even if students took turns drawing on the computer? The possibilities are endless :)
I'm in love with your animated pictures! How/what did you use to do them, because I may need to play around and make some of my own:) And I think Jennifer's idea for English would be hilarious. Kids would probably get such a kick out of creating the monster themselves, or describing what it might look like to the teacher. It would definitely be an activity that would maintain their interest and they would be able to get creative with it! I may have to think about doing something like that for my kids, I definitely think that they'd enjoy it! Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
How fun! I am seeing a lot of interactive activities that people are adding to their blogs. Where did you find this Autumn? I feel that a lot of teachers, no matter their subject, will be able to use this research. Please let me know how you got this resource and how you might use it in the classroom! Students will love the creative freedom, and so will I! Hope all is well ~
ooo fun, interactive, and cutting edge (with technology). your idea sounds very feasible... and very engaging for the students.
your post truly does highlight what a valuable tool technology can be: students can be challenged to be creative and exploration with their education in SO many new ways.
