Middle School EdTech Showcase Padlet

App Smash in Mrs. Whitney's 3rd Grade!

Check this out! Mrs. Whitney's 3rd grade students created Spark Videos to showcase their published Fairy Tales for Writers Workshop! She then showcased them all on Padlet as an easy way to share with families and other classrooms! The students used Adobe Video to make their books come alive with a slide show format, background music, and students own voice narrating their story! Padlet is a virtual bulletin board that can be shared with a link. It is a great way to share out what students have done in the digital world!

Google Slides and Mini-Projectors

Students in Mrs. Harrison's 6th grade class can use Google Slides and mini-projectors to hook into their own Chromebooks and present in small groups! What a great way to work together and practice those 21st Century skills!

Flipgrid: Interactive Video Response

Fifth Graders Use Flipgrid to Redefine Learning!

Mr. Talbot is using Flipgrid in his classroom to have the students record daily video journals inspired from movie The Martian! As students learn about space and research specific planets they weave in facts as they conduct their daily report to NASA. Mr. Talbot set up his grid for this specific assignment and then created a topic for each student to use as a journal. What a great way to use technology to redefine student learning!

Flipgrid in Global History

Check out Mrs. Sheeley's 10th Grade Global History class! They are creating Appeasement Campaign Commercials using Flipgrid! Chamberlain or Churchill? Support for appeasement or against it? Flipgrid gives each student a voice!
