I would use this video to introduce PowerPoint to my 4th grade students.
I would use this video as an introduction to e-books and e-readers. Then I would have students share their favorite ones.

I would use this video to show students how easily they could record their own story.

I would use this video to give students an idea of how they could create a unique version of their favorite television show.

From Scholastic: “The big bad wolf has spent ten years in pig prison for the destruction of the three little pigs, and he has quite a story to tell that just might prove his innocence!
Alexander T. Wolf writes his own account of this infamous meeting, and insists that he was railroaded in the classic fairytale. After all, it was only an innocent sneeze (he had a bad cold), and all he wanted was to borrow a cup of sugar from one of the pigs. Why is he now the bad guy?
Smith's colorful and humorous illustrations put an interesting spin on the comical text. An engaging read for young readers. Teachers and parents will get a kick out of it too!”
I made a book trailer for The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Sczieska. Scan the QR code below to view it.
QR codes:
Some fun ideas for how to use QR codes in the classroom are creating and using reflection question cubes. Students can roll the dice (cubes) and scan the QR code that lands on the top to view their question. Another idea is to use QR codes to as a part of a library scavenger hunt, posting clues around the library.
I plan to use QR codes to post book trailers on displays around the library. Students can go up to a display of say Dr. Seuss and scan the QR code that is there. It will pull up a book trailer of a Dr. Seuss book we have in our catalog.
Hello Alex!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen the video talking about the Kindle. I think it was really cute and creative. I also liked the video sharing the story! I think that it would give students some great ideas to implement themselves. I have never used a reflection cube, but I think that's a really great idea! Students could even answer the questions electronically. Thank you for sharing!
