Today we are going to make a movie about South Dakota with Windows Movie Maker. This program has been free since the windows XP days and came in with service pack 2. It is loaded on all the windows xp machines in the school!
I have a data folder with the files we will need.
We're going to have FUN and learn about South Dakota History at the same time!
We will be using imovie and iphoto for this. I will also show you the bean cameras (we have a pack of 5 of them) that we can use to take pictures of the students or scavenger hunt items.
We will be making a movie about dogs, man's best friend!
There are built in microphones on the computers for our voice, and we will also use a song in our movie. We will use the quick keys command c to copy, command v to paste. We will use the control/shift 4 to capture parts of the screen.
Files will be found at: http://www.garretson.k12.sd.us/tie2008/Files/ or you can go to GO/Network/MyNetwork/Xserve09 pick connect and pick Elementary for the volume to mount Double click Elementary, and drag the Demos-Dog folder to your desktop
7:30 AM Macbook LabBring your comb! We are going to be making a movie with you riding in a roller coaster! And—where is my stuff? How to find your things on the file server with the mac platform? We will be using Photobooth and iMovie for this wanna know! iMovie Tutorials What is Photo Booth?
Please bring your class list, spelling words, a poem, or just come!
Wordle is a great way for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. http://wordle.net
Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning tag cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence http://www.tagxedo.com/

Is the state site where you can find them, scroll down to the technology standards.
Please join the tech committee and see what ideas they have for you for the computer curriculum for our K-12 students! You will accumulate 30 minutes of wanna know time!
All students have their own loggin this year--which is one of the state technology standards, so everyone is responsible for their own dock. I want to show you how to add things to your dock, how to view applications listed so it is easier to see. I can send the garretson website homepage to Safari, but on Firefox, the kids have to set their own homepage. I will show you how! Check out http://www.atomiclearning.com/ and you will find many great videos on OSX 10.4, which is the operating system here.
We will look at K to the 8 Power. I put the book in the elementary lounge so you can see ALL the possibilities! Great reports showing you how your students are doing, too! Your students are enrolled, you have an account, we just need to set what you want them to do! I will demo how I log in as a teacher and set a program for the class to use and how a student logs on. http://www.garretson.k12.sd.us/teacherinservice/Kto8.htm
