4th Grade “About Me” Posters
Here at the beginning of the year it’s always a great idea to give your students the opportunity to introduce themselves to you and to each other. There are so many different ways to do this type of project. We’ve done movies, comics, Keynote slideshows, and Pages documents. I’m always on the lookout for new ideas though, and I found a cool website called BeeClip that I wanted to try out with a class. Ms. Waggoner at Chamberlayne Elementary was all for it, so I went to her fourth grade class today, and her students had a good time making posters about themselves. This site is great because it doesn’t require a login to use it. Students can upload their photos, add text and stickers, and even search for pictures online with a built in safe Google image search. Once they created their posters we went to full-screen mode and took a screenshot of it (Apple + Shift + 3). Screenshots are saved to the Documents folder on student computers. Next I uploaded the posters to Comemories which is a great way to share photos instantly. You can see all the posters here.
