Multimedia Projects

  I enjoyed reading and listening to all the projects.  April's Storybird multimedia project was fascinating.  I like the illustrations and the text was great.  The pictures and text fit together well.  Storybird is what I would like to try with my students in creating their own stories or sequencing events.  The project was scary at first, but once I got involved in the task; I began to enjoy it.  I got the hang of voicethread.  Now I would like to attempt to use other multimedia tools.  I did try voicethread with my students.  They were very eager to learn how and to manipulate the tool.  Tonia's Little Bird Tale on ipad2 was exciting to listen to as well.  I can relate to this one, because my niece uses an ipad all the time to color, count, read, etc.  It is so amazing what children can do at younger ages.
