Week 2 of Cyber Monday

Reading 8a-9a
Using Awesome Screenshot: Capture & Annotate, from the Google Store, I went to the website that has National Geographic articles for students in grades 3-5 to read for free. I screenshot an article, inserted the screenshots into Powerpoint, covered some of the main text features with blank boxes and saved the Powerpoint slides as jpegs. Then I opened up Google Presentation and uploaded the images. I used Doctopus to copy and share the presentation with my class. Students will:
  • Access files shared in their Google Drives
  • Insert a text box over the blank boxes and type their prediction of what the missing text feature should be and what it should say based on information in the article.
  • Come up with 5 quality questions for Mr. Sosa to use in a Kahoot.
  • Work in Istation.
