In Spanish II, students created a postcard in Spanish that pertained to a place that they visited. With Explain Everything's features
- Easily crop images
- Layering
- Multiple text font and size options
- Exportable as a PDF to Google Drive
the students were able to create their two slide PDF, export it to Google Drive, and share it on Canvas. All within a 55 minute mod.
The students who were prepared simply copied their paragraph from their Google Doc app into the Explain Everything text boxes.
As a technology integration coach, I presented the features to Explain Everything for about 5-6 minutes using AirServer. Since this learning opportunity was multiple sessions, I taught the first Explain Everything tutorial and stayed in the classroom for the entire 55 minutes. The second time I taught the tutorial, but then left the classroom. The third and subsequent times after that the content teacher Ms. Slusarek taught the entire lesson. This will be the case when I am in Mrs. Van Gheem-Rottier's room tomorrow. As the first slide of the video displays, while the instructor is focusing on the content, we have instilled an expectation of creativity which aligns with the four c's.
