U.S. Capitals Quiz


Here is a quiz that is good for everyone!  Let's start with an easy one.  This would be good review for the students to write a quiz also.


Perennials of Northeast Ohio

Here is another example of a slideshow format students could do. They could select a theme, such as flowers or leaves, and go from there:D   Please also see the "Falls Day in the Park" slideshow for more information on the assignment as it would pertain to students.

Falls Day in the Park slide show

  I thought students could be assigned this project as an enrichment to their regular classroom studies.  Most students have access to a camera and computer.  They would be told to take 8-20 pictures of a weekend activity, remembering to try and have a beginning, middle and end.  They could use animoto to make the slide show.  I would show them the one below as an example.  This would be a fun way for them to continue incorporating technology into their lives.   The slideshow could be about anything.  It doesn't have to be a big event.  It could be going to the grocery store, doing yardwork, attending a soccer game, playing with a sibling, etc.
