This is my green screen video created in Doink and then in iMovie. This was fun to do, even if the video is a little primitive. Some things that need to be improved upon… the shadows created on the “green screen” cause the background to bleed through in the movie, better lighting would help that part out. Also, trying to create an actual video with still objects is rather difficult. I wished I had a green glove so I could have tried movement with them and tested whether you could make it look like it was actually moving. I think this would work great with students in so many different ways! You could have them create scenes from a book, create a book trailer, do a news video, or create videos for research topics, positivity projects, etc. The possibilities are endless! Our school gas 1:1 ipads for all students, so this is a definite tool to be used in my classes!

Thing 24: Google Drawings
I gave Google Drawings a try and really liked it as a tool. I am really pleased with the number of things you can do and create with Google Drawing! And… it is very user-friendly so it is pretty easy to jump right in and begin creating. It is also really great as part of the Google Suite that you can create and save it to your google drive which is accessible from any device. I think students will really like using it as well. I can see its use in many places. I personally can use it to create worksheets, graphic organizers, note sheets, charts, posters, etc. I think students can also find it useful when creating posters for assignments, timelines, and other assignments that require a visual component. It would be user-friendly for group work as students could share the image and each have access to change, add, etc. It is a really awesome resource tool!!
As a practice drill, I created the following document that I will use with my 4th grade author study.
