In this page I’m going to present you some programs that can be used by
children as school projects…
Here I’m only going to put some information but in activities for children’s
literature you will be able to see some work ideas applicable to some books.
But before I recommend you to enter in the following
link and visualize the video, because it is so interesting about the ICTs at
school:

Mindomo: Revolutionize
the way your students think and develop their
own ideas and concepts Through mind mapping, teachers can guide students not
only to master a great variety of concepts, but to develop essential learning
and thinking skills: generating new ideas; synthesizing and structuring
information; problem-solving; decision-making; using evidence to support their
claims; accurate planning.
Glogster: What do you want to learn? Canvas freedom
allows expression to take over: mix text, audio, video, images, graphics and
more from your files, our pre-designed graphics, or around the web using the
inbuilt Web picker browser, yielding high-impact content with simple elegance.
There is
another called BITESLIDE that is very similar to Glogster, here I put the web
side.

wordcloud: A
word cloud is an attractive way
of visualising a large chunk of text in a more pleasing way. It shows the most
frequent words used throughout the text. The larger the text, the more commonly
it was used. It’s a good way of seeing which words are used the most in any
piece of writing.
Here are just a few ideas on how you could use Wordcloud in the classroom:
Guess the book
Use to introduce a topic
Comparing different newspapers
Use to analyse the content and gist a longer written
text, especially with exam or higher level groups
To introduce new vocabulary or to memorise new
vocabulary/vocabulary lists
Revision of key topics and vocabulary
To give presentations without reading from a sheet and
just using prompts
Encouraging creative writing from a selection of key
words from a word

Google
Earth: this is a
program that a lot of people know but they don’t realise all the things we can
do with it, specially in schools. so i recommend it to teach and explore our
world.

Imovi: this is a program for tablets and is useful to edit videos.
It is presented for ipads but I notice that there are programs very similar for other tablets.
OR
Imovi: (to use with the ipad) While one of the more difficult tasks in Foed 3010, students are truly
excited when it comes to developing an educational movie for their final
project. There are a variety of ways of using student and teacher created
movies in the classroom. Children of all ages enjoy making a creating
educational movies. In using iMovie in your classroom you are not only teaching
students how to make a movie, but you are teaching them the value and time
spent in creating a project. Students are proud of their hard work and have an
apperication for how much effort goes into Hollywood films.
Directions
for the movie will be discussed in class. Below you will find the rubric that
will be used to evaluate your movie. Lights,
Camera, ACTION!
