Teacher Spotlight – Mr. Golden

Picture 5Mr. Golden, 4th grade teacher at Trevvett Elementary, jumped right into using technology with his students on the second week of school! They made “All About Me” Posters using Photo Booth and Comic Life. First they took pictures of themselves using the special effects in Photo Booth and dragged those into the center panel of the Basic Fives Template in Comic Life (Mr. Golden would like to remind you to be sure to save your comic before you close Photo Booth or you’ll get the spinning beach ball). Then they found pictures of their interests with Mr. Golden’s help and dragged those into the four surrounding panels. Finally they added text boxes to describe their interests in complete sentences. It was a fun way to get to know each other and motivate his students to start writing. Way to go, Mr. Golden! (You can see Mr. Golden’s comic by clicking here).




First Week of School

Back2SchoolWhy not start the year off using technology? Your students could make a “Friend Interview” movie with Photo Booth (see sample here), a “My Summer” comic with Comic Life (see sample here), a “Welcome Back” collaboration activity with Writeboard (see sample here, the password for the sample is room3), or an “All About Me” slideshow using Keynote (see a sample here). There are many other projects we could do as well! Email me or sign up for a lesson on my website here. If you would like a folder of summer pictures to use for a writing activity click on this link and then look in your downloads folder for a file called Summer. The pictures include sunsets, amusement parks, beaches, fireworks, fishing, ice cream, swimming pools, and more!
