Water Cycle Movie

I really enjoyed making the movie. I think that students would really enjoy an activity like this. I was able to work with various things that I had around the house. I was able to use a bit of everything. I worked with music, again with powerpoint, teacher tube, and video maker. It was really interesting to see how all of these items could come together. I think this would be great for students to use. It is something that you could use to break them in to groups or something that they could do in peers. It could see myself using something like this in my classroom in the future.

Spreadsheets are a great way to get students organized. With the spreedsheet the students are able to organize data and use the tools to graph the items. I could see that this is a good way to get students to organize the data of the experiment. I could see many ways that this could be useful in a classroom. Spreadsheets have many positive aspects.
