Tuesday Tips 3/27/12


Website/Program of the week #1: Flipbook:  http://www.benettonplay.com/toys/flipbookdeluxe/guest.php   
Flipbook is a web tool that allows teachers and students to create a digitally animated flipbook and then share it with the world. It is easy to create and is lots of fun to work with. Besides the obvious art implication, Flipbooks might be a great creative way for Middle School students (or teachers) to animate a historical event, show the visual representation of how to do a math equation, show a scientific process, or even retell a scene from a book.

Website/Program of the week #2: Snag Learning: http://snaglearning.com   
Snag Learning is a good resource for teachers who would like to use high-quality documentaries in their classrooms, but don't have the funds to purchase DVDs.  On the website you can browse through the videos by subject or by grade level. Snag Learning also offers a series of guiding questions for each film. You can even embed previews of each video into your blog!
