Two Tech Ideas for Teachers with Very Little Time

Two Tech ideas -

Tech Idea #1:

Have you every heard of Voki? It's a cool website that allows students to create an avatar and speak on their behalf.
Here's a Voki telling us about what it means to be trustworthy, created by a pair of very eager students in Mrs. Sado's Sleepy Hollow 5th grade class.

                                                       

Mrs. Sado's class class spent some time writing their script and then one 40 minute session to create and publish their Voki avatars. A cool way to show what you know - and in a timely manner.

Click here to go to the Voki site. I have a few tips to help make this as seamless as possible. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll be happy to help.

Tech Idea #2:

In case you're thinking about Open House, here are five ideas you might consider when thinking about what to do with the beautiful screen in the front of the classroom.

If you like an idea but need help executing, feel free to contact me as I will be happy to help.

Enjoy,
