In today's class we had the opportunity to explore some neat movie-making tools online. I had no idea such cool, interactive sites like this existed (and most importantly for free)! I'm thrilled that we've been exposed these online sites, like animoto, because I can definitely see myself using these in the classroom. Also, I think my students would love it as well. Animoto is a very easy-to-use tool that even younger students would be able to enjoy. 

As for my Genius Hour project, I stumbled across some really great resources for incorporating movement into everyday lessons, even ones like math. I was so happy and excited to have found this source! My research so far has been going okay. I feel good about where my project is going, there are a lot of really great resources and research available for teachers who are interested in incorporating movement in their lessons. There's also a lot of research to support this concept. Unfortunately while all these resources exist, I'm curious as to why it's not seen more in the classroom. 

Moving forward, I plan on keeping up with my research and getting a little creative in trying to design some of my own pro-movement lessons. As well, I'm thinking it could be a good idea to create a manual for teachers interested in incorporating more movement into their school day. 

That's all for now, until next week!
