Sounds

I'm new, so forgive me if this isn't cool enough... I've added sounds to my elementary check in computer to play jingle bells for an on time check in and "oh bother" (Winnie the Pooh) for late books or incorrect scanning.

I am an app freak - I loved the new apps and websites that you shared!

I had students research an animal from the nonfiction section. Once their research was complete, they were able to create a replica of the animal and then give an oral report. The presentation was recorded and placed it online for parents to see using a QR code.
