It is vacation and I find myself behind once again with my assignments. I have mental trouble and can't see past my own thoughts... I have a 5th grade project coming up and the teachers want us to research a state with an open mind. The students will have to find information to share with the class in the form of a PSA. The kids would search for information, pictures then write a script to record to go along with the pictures. I was thinking that Voicethread might be the way to go with this, but as I was trying to do this, the pictures I downloaded from the copyright free sites once entered to voicethread are grainy and blurry at best. Now where to find pictures that will work?
Next problem.... I can't remember how to invite or have the students each sign up for their own accounts.... I don't necessarily want them to be one one account with different identities unless they EACH can be working on their own project since this is an individual assignment.
I have looked for other ways to have the students create their PSA without downloading anything to the computers -- which we are not allowed to do.... I am stumped and hoping for some intervention.... I suppose I could use Windows Movie Maker and have them record their voices there since we have this on our computers. But I taught MovieMaker to them as 4th graders last year and the 5th grade teachers wanted them to do "something new".... I can't seem to find a place to import pictures, if we can find good pictures, that will also let the student record their voices... Animoto with let you import the voice file, but how to I go about recording the voice and can students have their own animoto accounts? Argh!
