Richard Byrne's blog, Free Technology for Teachers, introduced me to 4 free animated web tutorials created to help students with web research strategies. The tutorials, which are on the Vaughn Memorial Library at Acadia University website, include:- Credible Sources Count,
- Research It Right,
- Searching With Success,
- You Quote It, You Note It
In the Classroom:
- Show the movie of your choice on the big screen with a projector. Have students take notes, fill in a worksheet, or create a web over the information in the movie.
- Divide students into four groups. Have each group watch one movie and become "experts" on their movie, then teach their topic to classmates.
- After students watch these tutorials, have them create their own, maybe for the topic they are researching. Sites for online animation include: Xtranormal, ipopetz.tv, Go!Animate, FluxtimeStudio.
Be sure to check that your students can acess the animation site from school.
