The Snowy Day Bibliography Keats, E. L. (1962). The snowy day . Picture Puffin. ISBN 3118000004000 Summary A brief look into one snowy day in young Peter's life. Peter tells of his adventures after waking up to a snow filled view from his bedroom window. His excitement is clearly seen as he ventures out into the snow to discover things like footprints, snowmen, snow angels, and snowballs only to bring to light that he can't hang on to it forever. Critical Analysis Keat's writing is sweet and simple as he creates the character of Peter, the adventurous little boy who finds joy in the simple pleasures of Mother Nature. Peter is synonymous with the typical characteristics found in young children today. The mere fact that he thought he could save the snowball in his pocket until tomorrow just goes to show that children are sponges waiting to be filled with experiences and knowledge.

Screencasting Have you ever tried screencasting? Basically, it's a digital video recording that captures actions taking place on a computer display. You could demonstrate how to use specific operating systems, software applications or website features while narrating your actions.

This process makes it so much easier because you actually have a visual to guide you through whatever steps your completing. I have taken the liberty of practicing with a couple of free screencast applications that are among the many. I'm going to be honest, I have never really created my own screencast before, so the process was all new to me. And, I have to say, It ...

Cartoons and Comics Creating cartoons and comics can be a great way to learn something new. Whether it be the educator relaying information to students in a captivating way, or students showing what they have learned by taking their knowledge and creating their own comic. I have been exploring various websites to help us do just that. My first comic was created using Pixton . I found this website to be pretty easy to manage. After registering, I was immediately prompted to create an avatar, which I thought was pretty fun. That allowed me to include myself (a very younger looking self) in my comic, if I chose to. The tabs to create new pages, add and edit characters, and include text, were all pretty straight forward. And once I was done, saving and sharing my comic was simple. The students would definitely be able to utilize this website, and honestly I think they would have so much fun creating with it. The only drawback was the big fact that with the free su...
