K-2 Language Arts http://www.wordle.net Ideas for Wordle: Spelling list, letter recognition, phonics practice, sentence order, etc.
Create Cartoons http://www.toondoo.com Use for digital storytelling with beginning readers and writers.
Read Aloud Software Read the Words Awesome Library/ Talkster These are just 2 sites I found with free downloads for read aloud. Use for reading student stories, spelling words, or information from any website.
Site for All!!! www.cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com This site has links for all kinds of digital tools By category such as: presentation, collaborative, Research, video, music, drawing, writing, etc.
3-5 Language Arts Bring stories to life on the web. There are a world of possibilities and many are FREE!!! Let’s look at some examples: Legends and Folktales by country Aesop's Fables read aloud (also fairy tales, poetry, famous authors, tongue twisters, etc.) Pat Walsh’s Stories for Learning Use story telling to teach science and social studies’ lessons. Lit 2 Go Free collection of stories and poems in Mp3 format.
Digital Storytelling Powerpoint is a great program but there are tons of other free software available. Here are just a few: Glogster ======== http:// www.wix.com Photostory 3 (example) Voice Thread
Ideas for Using Digital Tools in Language Arts Create a photo essay of an original story Write in the perspective of the character as a journal entry Create a news broadcast of the events of a story Make a multimedia experience
Famous/Infamous Storytellers: Storyline online – Many famous celebrities doing read aloud of popular children’s books. BookHive – Wonderful storytellers *Use as introduction for storytelling. Have students view examples and practice their own versions. Book Trailers as Introduction for Book Talks Book Trailers Students will see a very brief video like a movie trailer about the book. You Tube – search children’s book trailers – Tons of examples of student made videos as book trailers. Use Voice Thread, Photostory 3, Glogster, Wix, etc. for creating Book Trailers and Book Talks.
Tools for Reader Support Word Wizard Easy template to create mini dictionary using any theme, book, or vocabulary level. Into the Book Interactive activities with 8 research based strategies.
Book Marking Site www.ikeepbookmarks.com Instead of using “favorites” to mark all your favorite websites, use this site to organize and free up space on your laptop.
Screen Capture Tool www.jing.com If you’ve never used a screen capture tool, watch and learn. It can be used for so many useful things in the classroom.
Finally – The End This is the tip of the iceberg! I have found tons more resources but too little time to include. Email me if you would like additional resources or help with any of the software presented today. Thank you for joining me!
