PhotoBooth and Pages

Today I worked with K-1 students with MacBooks. Students opened Pages and selected a template for a report. Students were directed to change text for name and to write a sentence about themselves. We then opened PhotoBooth and students were directed to take a photo of themselves. The class I worked with had prior knowledge and chose to take a funny photo using effects in the program. Students selected one photo and dragged it to the desktop. They then were instructed to replace the pic in the template with their own photo. We printed to a selected printer and kids had their paper to take home. The 45 minute lesson provided an opportunity to use two new applications, new MacBooks, and completed tasks related to SSS LA 3.6.4.1 and LA 3.6.4.2.

VoiceThread

Used VoiceThread this week for the first time, thanks to Karen Seddon. I made two short clips and the second one was made on my MacBook and that has better sound quality than the iMac I used.
