221: How Would You Like It To Be?

The Port Townsend School District Website for the 2022 Salish Coast Elementary Children's Film Festival   This year the Library/STEM program at Salish Coast Elementary hosted the 2022 SC Children's Film Festival! It was created by our K-5 citizen-scientists as a "Call to Action for the Future of the Salish Coast Ecosystem" and our students are excited to share their voices to tell their stories to ask our community: "What Will You Do to Help?"   https://sites.google.com/ptschools.org/sc-childrens-film-festival-22/home   Novel Effect is a Seattle-based company that created a fantastic free app that follows along as you read aloud books and uses voice recognition software to respond at just the right moment with music, sounds, and character voices to help make storytime magic.  They also have premium plans with educator discounts.   https://noveleffect.com/educators/ WeVideo is an easy to use, chromebook compatible, cloud-based editing platform that allows teachers and students to work collaboratively on creating gifs, videos, podcasts, and more. https://www.wevideo.com/education The Stop Motion Pro Studio app allows students to use the iPads to take photos of their original artwork and then, through software applications, put them together in a sequence to create movement in their animated films.   https://www.cateater.com/   Contact Denise: deniseaedan {at] gmail [dot] com
