Educreations App Turns Students into Animators in Middle School History

 

Students in Bayard Templton's history class are using the Educreations Ipad app to build media projects for assessments.

"As part of our Williamsburg project, I asked students to submit a creative project as evidence of something they had learned.  There were a variety of choices, some involving writing, others using visual or audio.  The animation above was submitted by Jake who had worked with  Educreations in the Lower School.  He explained that he loved working on the interface so much that he contacts the creators to report bugs and make suggestions," reports Templeton. "Other highlights, from my classes, included three music videos, several songs, and two sets of store signs made via woodworking."

Educreations is built expressly for the Digital Classroom allowing students and teachers to share video lessons in a safe and private classroom environment providing rich feedback on student work. The best part?  Videos are automatically saved to the cloud for anywhere anytime viewing.
