In a world where a textbooks are prehistoric and Elementary students are writing HTML codes to design their own video games, educators must keep up! Students know better than to show up to class with a pencil and notepad ready to record a lecture. Green screen recording, podcasting and real-time collaborative documents have all replaced the multiple choice assessment. Educators who are willing to take risks will help pave the way for the world's brightest problem solvers. Use this blog to help you keep pace with your tech-savvy students and use digital learning to create a risk-taking classroom environment.
Disclaimer: This post is for a graduate school (University of Maryland University College) assignment. Bring a Character to Life with ChatterPix!ChatterPix by Duck Duck Moose has become quite popular in my school this year. The app is simple and easy to use in terms of steps but still lends itself to rigorous project based learning. The app allows you to take an image of a face and bring it to life for 30 seconds. In other words, students can import an image from their camera roll and animate the image with a 30 second voice recording. A ChatterPix project can be simple where the student uses an open source image from the web of a person they are studying and narrates a quick script. Or more complex (like this project) where a student paints their own portrait image and writes a detailed script to record. I recently read a story to my students called Supergrandpa and created the ChatterPix project below to model how a character faces and responds to challenges.
