Well, weather like today gives me a good opportunity to catch up on PD :)
The first time I participated in Cool Tools I did a video on Animoto. It was still in my account and it was only 30 seconds. Brought back memories - it was of my son during his high school swim meet.
There are a lot of resources listed on Thing 6. I explored many of them. Powtoons looks interesting, as well as the Time Line tool on Read Write Think. The time line tool in Google Slides looked a little complicated for elementary.
I spent the most time on Adobe Sparks. I made two videos. Very easy to learn and the free version had enough options to create a nice video. I'm hoping that my district has a subscription or its included with our Google accounts. We have a book of the month in our K-6 building and it would be a great project for the students to retell the story using Sparks, adding their connection to the story.
Here is the first video I made - Annie loves the snow much more that I do!
Here is the second video. My son has traded swimming for biking! Tried embedding it - hope it works!
Great videos! Your dog is crazy. :) It's too cold to play in the snow. brrr.... And the biking videos were put together nicely, watched the whole thing. I love Adobe Spark, it just makes it so easy for students to create. The book project sounds great.
