Everyone Loves a Parade

The semester is winding down with only one week left. Students are wrapping up projects before completing new activities next week. Stay tuned for a variety of shared project this week and next. 

One project we wrapped up last week was learning how to screen record while making a practice how to video for making a new Google Drive Folder. Feedback was provided and students created a second how to video pulling ideas from a list of tools that we explored in class. Options included Zoom, Google Drive, Classroom, Slides, Scratch, Screencastify and a few random tools suggested by students. With their permission and as long as no personal identifiers are shared, videos will be added to the ABC's of Technology page. It is a work in progress and we only have a few videos at this time. Come back and visit again or bookmark the page for future use. 

Below are the Scratch parades we are building. Sixth graders were tasked with thinking through some simple coding activities before writing some starter code to make their Google Slide avatars come to life in our parade. Stay tuned for changes and new additions as we complete these projects in the coming days. 

Fifth graders will use their avatars to tell the story of our FAB Constitution in comics we are building in class. See what they think a positive learning environment looks like. How FAB are you? See last weeks post to learn why students at GDRMS as so FABulous!
