This will be our third time using Explain Everything. Mini projects one and two were introduced through tutorials. We are increasing the levels of digital skills each time we innovate with Explain Everything. Our hope is to continue to build on the creativity and other modern day skills with the students. We are already seeing students not "concerning themselves with learning the tech" as Explain Everything is just "our tool". The process of learning the content is becoming the focus.
The Spanish teachers and I discussed the Unit 3 Market Project and collaborated on how it would look. Some areas of emphasis for me as a technology integration specialist include Creativity and Global Communication.
The Exceeding Expectations is highlighted because we are going to encourage students whose final products are pleasing to them to post them on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook with #RaiderStrong
Our Day 3 which is when the Explain Everything App is utilized looks like this:
As a help tool, I demonstrated the three skills that students will need to master
- Background
- Characters
- Layering
- Animation
UPDATE:
We played the video above and walked students through each of the three skills that were to be mastered. Students, all 168 of them, have completed the assessment. We are SO impressed!
Please view the conversations from "The Marketplace" that students created.
