This website has a “how to” for claymation and movie maker. It also has examples of claymation movies. This a root directory but you can still click on the links to go to the documents or you can right click, choose save target as and then save the file on your computer.

One Website from the closing speaker

This was the one website I was able to get down from the closing speaker http://torres21.typepad.com/flickschool/ It amazed me how many different teachers had figured out that they had to make the subject appealing to the students. These teachers chose to use pod-casting, broadcasting, windows movies, etc. to make their subject interesting. One school started making posters of students stories who scored a 4 on their practice writing. Then that student was allowed to make an audio pod cast of the story. Once that was done, they let the student make a windows movie, using still pictures the students took with a small digital camera, about their story. The school posted the podcast and then the movie on the school website. They said that after about the 3rd or 4th story that was made into a movie, students who had never wanted to write started revising and revising until they got the necessary 4 on their paper to be allowed to do this.

Great website

This was a great website that has all of the power point presentations that Patrick Crispin presented at the TCEA conference. I attended the one on Google and the other one on the Complete Waste of Time. Even though it was a silly title, the workshop was full of great websites and was very insightful, especially the one on tiny URLs.

TCEA 2008

Including the Instructional Technology staff, 22 BISD teachers recently joined over 8000 other Texas teachers in attending the TCEA (Texas Computer Educator Association) conference in Austin. They were joined by teachers from the BHS Business Department and Technology leaders. Dedicated teachers rushed from session to session in an effort to learn all they could about integrating technology into their curriculum. Doni Bracht did a fabulous job of teaching a podcasting class to a large group of teachers from across Texas. IT is inviting our teachers to record their experiences and share links to resources about what they learned this past week at TCEA. They might even tell you about the things they won!
