The students are learning about Polar Animals. Today we are going to do an activity on Antarctic animals. Some South Pole animals include penguins, seals, whales, etc. Students will go use kerpoof.com to create an Antarctic scene. We will review how to add images to the scene, size them, delete them by dragging them off, rotating them, and adding text. This activity provides "question marks" that when clicked, tells you some interesting facts about the animal.
The students are learning about Polar Animals. Today we are going to do an activity on Arctic animals. Some North Pole animals include polar bears, reindeer, arctic foxes, seals, snowy owls, walruses, etc. Students will go use kerpoof.com to create an Arctic scene. We reviewed how to add images to the scene, size them, delete them by dragging them off, rotating them, and adding text. They really like the fun features like making the sun set by dragging it below the horizon and seeing the images get smaller as you drag them further away. This activity also had "question marks". When you click on them, it tells you some interesting facts about the animal.

Today the students will explore the free time apps. I will work with them on the concept of web browser "tabs". Each time they click on an activity, it creates a new tab. We'll switch from one tab to another and learn to close them when we're done.
