First the students logged into Google classroom where I posted a Google slides template that all of them could edit.  You can do that when you post an assignment by choosing the &#8220;Students can edit file&#8221; option. The students opened the slideshow, and each student got a slide that corresponded with their student number. They wrote their name on the slide and added a photo of themselves using the webcam (Insert > Image > Take a snapshot). Then they typed a few sentences about their favorite memories of this school year.  Finally they added more photos using the Google Image search or taking snapshots with their friends.  When they were finished, I exported the slideshows as PDF documents (File > Download As > PDF Document) and uploaded them to <a href=\"http:\/\/flipsnack.com\">Flipsnack<\/a>, a webtool that converts PDFs into online flipbooks.  This made it easier for parents to access the yearbook, plus it looks really cool. You can take a look at a few yearbooks here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flipsnack.com\/my-flipbooks\/details?flip=ft327yqau\">Eller<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flipsnack.com\/dhclough\/2014-2015-yearbook-bennett.html\">Bennett<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flipsnack.com\/dhclough\/ms-cousins-yearbook-2014-2015.html\">Cousins<\/a>. <strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: I taught a similar lesson with Ms. Conway&#8217;s class at Laburnum, but this time I converted the slideshow to images (File > Download As > JPG Image) and uploaded them to <a href=\"http:\/\/animoto.com\">Animoto <\/a>to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/animoto.com\/play\/Vz99eiZFHiwdQNDD1kioog\">video yearbook with music<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today teachers at Davis Elementary created their own online yearbooks for free using Google slides and Flipsnack.
