I like this software because I can create dialogue. As a matter of fact, I am currently teaching my first grade students a song that has dialogue in it. Using Dvolver would be a great way to show what is happening to the two characters in addition to me singing the song to them. So instead of just talking about this song, I went ahead and created a video for it. Please check out "Fang and Twang."
I'll blog with you later,

Cute! Can you do multiple scenes? I like the fact that it comes with music the kids can choose. That makes it easier when it comes to concerns about copyright. I'll share this with my fellow teacher, Brenda. I'll be she could use this in her English classes. I'm likely to introduce it in my Computer Related Technology class as a fun extra.
ReplyDeleteJenn,
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to look at this tool in more depth! I am also an elementary music teacher and just graduated from EMDT! Rena Hanaway gave me your blog link, and she can give you my contact information if you'd like to share ideas, tools, etc. :) I am now a mentor for EMDT, so you could connect with me through that site as well.
I'll look forward to seeing what other cool tools you find this month!
Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. Rena had told me you would be in touch but I am just now getting back to reading all the comments that people have posted. I would love to share ideas and to pick your brain as an EMDT mentor. Do you have a gmail address where I can reach you privately?
Thanks,
Jenn
