Student's #Cyberbullying Filmmaking project documentation and gallery #artsed #film #myr

My students have been working very hard on creating their music videos about Cyber Bullying.

See the full gallery on Posterous

They collaborated on Edmodo, used Open Office to write their scripts and Storyboarded with Storypages.

We also had a lot of fun playing a day of acting games to get into character

I think we are running out of steam now as some of the students are getting disruptive or tired of shooting the same stuff - so I am hoping that they can start editing their project soon using WeVideo once they have everything synced with Dropbox.

How to change your @edmodo avatar w/ @piterwilson Stop Motion Webcam #edtech #web20 #socialmedia #studentgallery

Students got to create animated "movies" of themselves utilizing the netbook's built in web cam and the great website Web Cam Stop Motion 

I have used other Web cam sites in the past, such as GIFUP, ( you can CLICK HERE to check out a previous post that I made using GIFUP for the same purpose)

But what I like better about Web Cam stop motion is that you can take up to 20 photos, it keeps track of them using the "onion skin" mode and it works great with the built in web cam

I gave my students the option to change their Edmodo avatar or display it on the class wall for Edmodo. If you scroll down to the bottom of the post - you can see our student gallery

DIRECTIONS TO APPEAR ON EDMODO WALL:

1. Plan out a work of animation 

2. If the site asks for access to the web cam / microphone ALLOW

3. Shoot 20 Photos of doing something in a progressive movement

4. Hit: "Sava and Publish Animation"

5. Then select "Watch this Animation" to save the actual image, you can also post it to Facebook or Twitter by selecting the other options

6. Your animation will appear on its own screen, then select "Download this animation"

7. Your image will now appear on its own web page. In case you get a red "X" on the screen, go back to the last step and right click on the "Download" link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" instead

8. Once your image appears on its own web page (probably surrounded by just white) right click on the image and select "Save Image As / Same Picture As"

9. Make sure you know WHERE you are saving it, I'd recommend your "My Pictures" folder

10. NOW go onto Edmodo

11. Type something in the status update box, such as "here is my pic"

12. Click "file" to attach

13. Browse for the file you just downloaded and hit open or ok

14. In the send to box - send it to your class

DIRECTIONS FOR EDMODO AVATAR:

Follow the previous steps 1-10

11. In Edmodo, click on Account > Settings

12. Hit the "browse" box next "upload a photo" 

(NOTE: YOUR IMAGE CAN NOT BE OVER 1 MB. YOU MAY HAVE TO LIMIT YOUR WEB CAM MOVIE TO ABOUT 10 IMAGES OR LESS, OR USE ANOTHER PROGRAM SUCH AS GIMP TO CHANGE THE SIZE)

13. Browse for your file and hit ok / open

14. Save your personal info

7th grade student gallery of Mai'Nada Comics Sketch #edtech #web20 #artsed #digitalstorytelling

7th grade BWMS art students got to experiment with the Comics Sketch tool on the Mai'Nada web site. 

I thought this would be a great web site for students to create an illustrated version of their formerlly created comic strips.

 

Alex's work

 

What the site actually does is it records every single "pencil stroke" that is created in the drawing, and then plays it back in an embeddable movie.

Users can add several panels like a comic strip, or just focus on one of them. The students can then embed their comic strip, such as onto Edmodo - but I wasn't able to get their work off of the Edmodo site afterwards.

Students do not have to create a username to start working, but then their work can get lost as some times the site just hangs up. My afternoon class had a few students that got to use the site, but only two of them could remember their log in info.

I think it is a nice site, but it could be very powerful with a stylus pen and if you wanted to show the individual steps on creating a detailed sketch.

6th grade student gallery of @morriscooke Photo Puppet movies on Ancient Egypt & Renaissance artists #artsed #mlearning #edtech #edapp

6th grade BWMS art students had to pick one Renaissanceartist from a selected list. Alternatively, students could tell me whatever they learned about Ancient Egypt in their Social Studies class and they could make a movie about one topic they learned in there. They then had to type up a biography paragraph on Edmodo prior to receiving their IPod.

Afterwards, students had to log into their Edmodo site, where I posted a link of student photos. I took a photo of the students in front of green paper to simulate a green screen effect. Unfortunately, the Photo Puppet Go app doesn't have the "remove green" effect that my IPad app has.

Once students downloaded their picture from Edmodo, they then had to import it as a puppet in the Photo Puppet Go app

The next step, students had to download one piece of art from their artist and then upload it as a  background in the Photo Puppet app

Finally, students combined their puppet and the background into a scene. Within the scene, they would animate their puppet while recording their voice which demonstrated their research on the artist.

When the film was done, a student could Tweet about it, upload it ot their YouTube account or save it to the camera roll.
