Presidential Chatterpix

Fourth graders had so much fun creating a class video on the presidents.

Each student researched two consecutive presidents.  Besides the basic information such as years in office, party affiliation, vice president, students also found 'weird but true' facts.  This made the project very entertaining for the students.

Students used their research and created a chatterpix video featuring each of their presidents.

Once students exported and airdropped their video, I put all videos together into one iMovie.

Students had the best project results when they spoke loudly and slowly.  Be sure to separate the students so background noise is not recorded by accident.

Foldify App

If you haven't used Foldify you are missing out on creative fun!

Our third graders researched different state symbols and then created three dimensional visual representations.  After completing a short research worksheet students used the ipads to find pictures of their state symbols.  (FREE research worksheet can be found here.)

Foldify makes creating three dimensional shapes easy.  Students choose a shape, drag and drop pictures, and print.  I printed on cardstock, but regular paper would be fine.
