Animating Google Slides

I'm testing the animation and transition features of google slides. I discovered that the Research Tool is now called Explore. I found the pictures fine but I'm not able to search by licence. It was straight forward to do this and I hope my three classes on Friday enjoy it.

My Hour of Code Certificate

I am planning a teacher Toolkit for next week and trialled activity on the website here. It was easy when I had directions about what to do. However, when I had free choice as to what to do, it was harder for me. I had to use a lot of trial and error, eg writing the code and testing by running the script and then continuously modifying and testing.

Quality Blog Commenting

Today I leant how to write a comment on a blog and then make it a better comment by using our class padlet ideas. I liked doing because it was fun looking at Room 10's blog and then writing a really quality comment. Now, I hope that I get a reply to my comment. I will wait and see....

Replying to Comments

Today we learnt about how to make good replies to blog comments. I found this interesting because it will help me write good replies when I receive comments on my blog.

Using Movenote

https://www.movenote.com/presentation/view

I had a try using Movenote and found the programme really easy to operate, but there are some downsides. Firstly, it is a site that you now have to pay to access. I tried as a guest and it said that I could access my Movenotes created for 2 days, however, I can't find the two that I've created. This image is a screenshot that is still open in another tab and when I put a link to it so that the video can be watched from my blog, I got a message to say that 'no such presentation exists'. Give it a try.

My conclusion is that it is not likely to be very successful unless a subscription is purchased.
