Fifth Grade and Centers

Students work in centers to complete mini projects.
Center A is typing- fifth graders need to practice typing
Center B is Cacoo.com- Students create diagrams on Cacoo.com (a free Internet program)
Center C is vocabulary– students search the Internet to define animal classification vocabulary words.
Center D is a creative center- students create a mobile for Animal Classification.
Center E is Question sheets- students’ research on the Internet to fill in the answers.
Here are a few samples of Cacoo.com

Sixth Grade- Xtranormal Projects

Students created animation videos using Xtranormal.com. Students wrote scripts that included ten vocabulary words (integrating Technology and Language skills). They were given creative freedom to pick their characters, settings, voices, and camera angles. Since the program is web based, students were able to work on the project at home.

Here are just a few samples of the videos.
