A few students have written travel posts about places they have visited. One student wrote about Washington, D. C. and one wrote about Lake Tahoe.
Kyle and his father created a travel post in a special way. He uploaded his vacation photos to iMovie and then narrated the show using GarageBand.
Great use of digital media!

Mrs. Ranney, one of our commenters, mentioned Tahquitz Canyon in Palm Springs. That's where the Cahuilla Indians used to live.
Here are some photos she sent us of her trip.
Thank you Mrs. Ranney!

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie especially when you were sleeping!
Great job,

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your slide show. In particular, I liked your use of the word "jam - packed" to describe your days! Palm Springs is a favorite place of mine. One beautiful spot I have visited there is Tahquitz Canyon where Cahuilla Indians lived long ago. While visiting there a few years ago, I hiked to a spectacular 60 foot waterfall.
Sincerely, Mrs. Ranney
Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great video you made. It looks like you had a fun time over the break. I haven't been to Palm Springs in years but now you've planted a little seed that makes me think I may want to go back. Maybe I'll check out the waterfall Mrs. Ranney mentioned.

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI love your movie!It was so funny when you ended the movie by showing yourself sleeping! When I showed the movie to my parents they laughed so hard at the end when it showed you sleeping! I can't believe that many golf courses are in Palm Springs.
Best Regards,
Amanda :-)

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was amazing! For example, I liked that you have a slide show. It explained a lot more than the writing. Is there more than one Palm Springs?

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteI love your movie! That was so cool that you made the slide show all by yourself! How did you make the slide show? Did you video tape your movie then put it on your movie, and put all the pictures together then make a slide show? Hope you anwser back!

Dear Noah,
ReplyDeleteIt is really fun in Palm Springs I'm sure you want to go some day. Soak City is a water park there and if you like water parks then thats where you want to go. I just went over Memorial Day weekend, and I had lots of fun there.

Dear Kyle,
ReplyDeleteYour slideshow was great! I love Palm Springs. My family and I visited Pal Springs last summer. We stayed at a beautiful resort. I had so much fun with my cousins playing in the pool and the big water slides!!! I am looking forward to going again so I can experience Soak City. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kyle,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kristen Walker and I work at the Santa Barbara County Education Office. I am working with a group of teachers on incorporating technology into their classrooms and one of then gave me the link to your teacher's blog. I loved your narrated slide show about Palm Springs. It was especially fun for me to watch because I grew up there! Great job! You have really inspired me and shown me what students can do with a blog if given the chance.
Thanks!
Kristen
