Meet Mrs. Weth’s Wonderful Workers!

Every year I have the students draw a self-portrait using Microsoft’s Paint program. These have a variety of uses: avatars for blogs, printed for bulletin boards, “All About the Author” pages, and so on.

Mrs. Weth, one of our third grade teachers, likes to have her students use the portraits to create a video for our Grandparents’ Day. Her students write an “I Am” poem then record it with their portrait as the backdrop.

Last year she used Explain Everything for the project. This year, we chose Book Creator due to their new feature allowing users to export the book as a video.  By going with this app, we were able to save the book in two formats: ePub book and video. This gives our families options on how they want to view the students’ work.

For the ePub book, choose download while on an iOS device and open in iBooks (make sure that app is installed on your device).
