What is Flipgrid?

Flipgrid is a website that allows teachers to create grids to make video discussions. Each grid is like a message board where teachers can ask questions or start discussions, called topics and their students can create and send video responses that appear in the grid display.

Storybird: Digital Book

Resim
 Hello everyone today we will look at Storybird which is a Digital Book platform. Storybird is an online social platform for storytelling.

Students can compose text, but they can't upload their own art; they must use Storybird's  collection in their picture books and illustrated poems. There's a 7-day free trial, but after that most features will ask for a premium account both for teachers and students. Teachers can also set up a paid classroom account that supports a number of students based on how much they pay. After signing up or logging in with teacher-provided credentials, students can read published stories or create their own. They can repost favorite stories to their own Storybird account feeds, "heart'' stories they like, and comment on them.  To get started, students choose which format they want, then browse Storybird's art collection to find illustrations that would be harmonious

 Hello everyone, I am here to introduce you Animoto, an animation platform. Animoto is an online, cloud-based video creation platform. It can be used to create videos from video content and photos. You don't need to worry about formats of  files as Animoto does all the conversion work for you.  Animoto is super simple to use, from creating presentation slideshows with audio to making videos with soundtracks. The platform includes templates to make it even more user-friendly.  Animoto also makes sharing very simple, ideal for teachers who want to integrate videos in teaching platforms such as  Google Classroom, Edmodo   and others.  Since the video is created online, sharing is as simple as copying a link. This means that a video can be made on many devices, unlike traditional video-editing tools that require a lot of processing power on the part of the device being used. Here is a short, trial video I have created on Modal Verbs on Animoto platform. Here is a picture of my Animoto
