The Future of Learning: Sugata Mitra
Think About It:
"If your classroom was a movie, whose voice would be the main character?"
Tech Tools and Further Planning:
Animoto
Student Video Creation (why it works: easy to use & acclimate, quick process [one class period]) https://animoto.com/education/classroom
- Students create videos to explain a concept (literary device), visually depict vocabulary words, visually explain an analogy, create book trailers, make connections back to previous works studied
- See student sample here
- Pro tip: make sure the computers you're working with have updated flash players; be sure your students use your educator code to give them the free pro version.
- BE SURE TO get the free educator account, sign up, THEN when you're signed in, click to apply for the free educator account.

It's free, it's awesome, and it's interactive!
