One week ago, the English teachers had an idea.
Learn about the terms that describe action and parts of a book or movie (setting, irony, conflict) via movie clips. Students were given the opportunity to use presentation tools such as SlideRocket, iMovie, or Pinnacle to demonstrate their knowledge. Along with these tools Skitch and iCab Mobile were used on the iPad to create slides and use movie clips on the iPad.
Today, they presented their final projects. Fortunately, I was able to view some of the projects while the students presented the information. The students did a wonderful job. I even remembered a digital tool (TubeChop) that I forgot about when a student used this resource for clipping movie clips from YouTube.
