Animationish

We've got a new drawing program that Samira and I will be introducing to the students -

Animationish, from Peter Reynolds. Based on the ideas presented in his picturebook ISH, drawings don't need to be exact, photographic representations. As long the cat is recognizable, he is...cat-ish, and so the artist is free to create. I will try to post some on this blog as well as ClassBlogmeister to see how they come out. Stay Tuned!

Welcome Jan to the wonderful world of blogging!

I look forward to working with you because I know you will have an incredible blog, with beautiful student artwork to post to the world!

Go Animate

This is my first Go Animate Movie. I haven't really learned to use it yet, how to create characters that really talk and flow but hopefully it will inspire the 6th graders to use yet another form as a platform for sharing writing and technology with other students around the world.

Google video embedding

Too bad Merl wasn't around....guess the second graders are cute enough! I am going to see if something uploaded to google video can embed well in a blog. Here goes!

Learning how to Podcast (sort of)

Just an experiment to see if I can put multiple images in this

and now, more writing to see if I can make this look like the blogs Jane likes.
It seems they chat alot and then do multiple images so.....



I knew old Merlie would bring me luck!!
I think I've got the hang of this now...so, bring on the Year of the Tiger!
