Today I used Proscopes and Scribblar with first graders at Holladay Elementary. Proscopes are USB magnifiers that take pictures of objects up close. I’ve used them before (you can find those lessons by clicking the proscope tag in the tag cloud on the right), but this lesson was different because I wanted the students to share their pictures and try to identify them. I figured this was a perfect opportunity to use Scribblar again. So after the students took pictures of everything from their hair to their shoes, I had them log in to this Scribblar page. Yep, even first graders can log in… and you can too, just by typing your name. The cool thing about Scribblar is that everything is instant. So the students could see each others’ pictures as soon as they uploaded them. Then they tried to guess what they were. That was the fun part! The Scribblar room that they used is locked now, but if you want to try out an open room and see all the cool features, click here. If you want to learn more about Proscopes, click here.
