Student Samples

My students have been feverishly working on their Animoto videos. They have spent the last two weeks researching an endangered animal, taking notes, and creating a video presentation. Keep in mind that this is the first time they have ever used an online program or taken notes off the internet! Here are a few samples.

Ever wish you could just create your own website with all the information you need in one place? Now you can. Check out Weebly. They offer you a simple to use tools to create your own website for free!



My students have picked their endangered animals from North America and unfortunately they can't locate all the information they need from the same site. I created a website using Weebly with all of their animals and quick links that were already screened for their use. They have little to no adds and are credible sources. I'm hoping this is going to same me and the students a lot of time... check it out!
