Mrs. Evans' Kindergartners Wonder About Weather!

Mrs. Evans and Mrs. D'Elia collaborated and planned an app smashing weather activity!  First the students identified a type of weather that they wonder about and created an I wonder statement.  (For example:  I wonder how clouds are formed.)  They researched and wrote the answer to their weather wonder.  Next they used the iPad's camera and created a video to record their wonder statement in front of a green screen (green butcher paper taped on a wall in the hallway).  Then they used the Internet to find and save a picture of their weather wonder.   The picture was used in ChatterPix Kids to create a talking explanation of their wonder statement.  After this, the students drew their own illustrations using Doodle Buddy to create a background image for their green screen recording.  They tied all of these elements together in DoInk's Green Screen to create a multimedia presentation.  They accomplished this in three busy and fun sessions!  It was AWESOME!!!
