[] **Ideas for using.**

=
Topics should follow your curriculum - create one story showing someone bullying and another story showing the same situation, but with a better resolution for all. Have the two characters discuss facts that have been researched about an animal, or a person, or an event. Give a book report via the comic strip. Have the two characters discuss how to solve a math problem, or to present a story problem to be solved. Use as an evaluation on a class activity or as an assessment following a science experiment. ======

Animoto can be used in just about any curriculum area - a daily weather report, steps in solving a Math problem, an interesting way to present a biography, a book report, or a digital story, an All About Me presentation at the beginning of the year, or What I Did Last Summer. Because Animoto is web-based, you and your students could start a video at school and continue working on them at home. ======

**__Voicethread__** example []
Create a digital story with images, text, and voice.  Upload pictures of ???? and have students record their research. Students can record math problem solving strategies.

 **Terraclues**
This interactive web site combines Google Search with Google Maps to create truly interest-grabbing Scavenger Hunts called TerraClues. You can access lots of already-made hunts that involve your current curriculum, or you have the ability to create your own TerraClues to fit your particular classroom needs. Students learn about maps, curriculum content, and how to use a search engine. You'll be able to use this tool for any curriculum area! Create a hunt to teach students about **historical landmarks**, **geography**, literature units where the characters visit various locations, **rare plants**, **volcanoes**, and more. Be creative
