Why kids have to be monsters and not avatars like normal humans kids
Never heard of this, glad I saw your video. My kiddos teacher wants me to download this and I felt intimidated .
Love your tips, thank you so much for your videos! Do you have a video building on what you did in day 1 for days 2-5, and also one for how you start to slowly build in curriculum content?
What am I doing wrong? When I make my number line and all my little circles, then it all, and say "space evenly, tidy up", it puts them all crazy all over. Help!!
I am having the same problem.

May I please have your checklist… thank you!!!
Thank you for the tips!
To add text does it have to be done in theme mode? I am having that troube when the theme is in place to add text.

I'm one of those "practical over digital" people, and the comments on here are clearly pro-CGI so it's a bit of an echo chamber here, but I'm going to explain to you from my perspective why I hate CGI and everything digital in modern movies. I don't watch movies made past 1997 anymore. A lot on here would act outraged by that, but I would like to compare them to the types of people who would enjoy a 480p DVD movie over a 1080p blu-ray. I used to not know the difference between the quality of the two when I was a child, but then I got to know the difference and I could never go back to DVDs. But a lot of people don't notice a difference and those people are probably the same types posting on this video acting all mind-blown over the fact that "good CGI is invisible." It's not invisible to me. Yes, I noticed the sidewalk was CGI. Just because most people don't pay attention to minute details doesn't mean it can't impact my enjovability of the film. I will concede that the acting and the directing can be good, but I won't ever enjoy modern movies. There is a visible difference between movies shot on film and those shot with digital cameras. The latter just looks worse in every way. I notice the "color correction" and it looks horrible compared to movies made in the early 90s and prior when that wasn't the case. I notice the color coding in modern movies and they are frankly an eyesore. Even those that are "subtle." It just doesn't look good and never will. I also hate modern animation compared to hand-drawn. And I mean real hand-drawn drawn on paper and coloured by hand, not the fake "hand-drawn" animation today drawn digitally and inked digitally on a computer. The quality just doesn't match the raw and genuine quality that real manually produced art has. And I am tired of being guilt-tripped into thinking I'm wrong for this opinion because people like you feel like you might end up unemployed. You won't. Mainstream movies will be CGI for a long time and that won't change. But a lot of people stopped watching mainstream movies and go for low-budget movies that purposefully avoid anything digital because they know how bad it looks. And the big studios noticed that and are trying to market films as CGI-free to appeal to that demographic while blatantly lying to their faces. CGI is lazy. It took years to create a masterpiece like Wizard of Oz and it shows. Nearly a century later and children born today still grow up with that film. Do you honestly believe any CGI movie ever will be looked at with the same level of awe that many years later? It won't. Sure, people can mention a plethora of films they enjoyed with CGI, but the fact of the matter is those movies would have been even better if they were made practically instead of digitally. The point isn't to mention films that you thought were good, the point is those movies would have been even better if the director wasn't lazy to go for digital instead of practical. I can't believe people actually watch modern digitally coloured, colour-coded, digitally shot CGI-fest movies made today. They won't ever be as good as what used to be made back in the day. And that's a fact. Enjoy your computer garbage, but the fact that you might very soon end up unemployed because Al will do the exact same work you do in a couple of years is proof that the stuff you make won't ever compete with the stuff legends used to make in the past. Just compare Scorsese with Scorsese. His best movies were made in the 80s before he resorted to CGI and cutting corners with digital solutions in his modern movies. The Irishman and Hugo are garbage (again, the stories are irrelevant, I'm solely talking from a visual perspective compared to a visual masterpiece like The Last Temptation of Christ or Raging Bull in his earlier career. You must wonder why none of his modern films are as good as his earlier ones. It's because all of these directors (including Herzog, Polanski, Woody Allen, Ridley Scott etc) all became lazy once they realised they could achieve what they wanted using digital methods than the costlier but more rewarding practical methods. 177/ / You won't convince those who hate CGI to suddenly like it. We don't just hate CGI. We hate everything digital. Including digital cameras, digital color correction, digital color coding, and so on. And that won't change. REPLY
I do not see the link to routine list
The link is in the description and will take you to TeachersPayTeachers to download as a freebie. Hope that helps!
This was really helpful. My district uses PowerPoint, will I be able to do the same things in that program?
my one and only Ivan readers and one and only bob readers SPOILER ALERT!!! SNICKERS LIKES BOB
Very informative. Thank you!
In my second grade class we read the one and only Ivan
Is there an option to upload a students picture as opposed to using an avitar?
Thanks for your video! I hadn't been on the other side of an interview panel for over a decade. Your tips helped me focus my interview prep and ultimately my interview answers.
This video was sooooooooooo helpful
I would like to ad my own background in the "draw" widget - så that i can draw directly on a picture i have chosen. is that possible? Is it possible to adjust the size of what you have drawn in the "draw" widget - i know you can move it around, but can you change the size?
One and only Ivan is my fav book
IVAN IS W BOOK I FINISHED IT YESTERDAY
i like you
I was in the classroom for 4 years before voluntarily taking a step away from education. After being away for 6 years I was nervous about going into an interview. I found this video the night before my interview and watched it about 4 times. Happy to say, that I received a job offer at an amazing school after my first interview back. Great video! Thank you!!
Solid advice. But please pause and take a breath every once in a while.
The video is cut. It’s so well done you must not have noticed 😉
👋👋BEST APP EVEN I LOVE IT
Great video!!! I was wondering the pros and cons to use Google doc vs Google slides for my weekly lesson plan. Could you help me please?
Hi! Great video!!! Thank you! I was wondering pros and cons to use Google doc vs Google slides to write my weekly lesson plan. Could you help me ?
I am going to have an interview tomorrow. Wish me luck 🙏.
Thank you so much
I have read Ivan before but I think the saddest thing in the book is when Stella dies :page 113-114:
In 3 rd grade we are reading the one and only ivan
I love all these books great
I watched the movie and I cried after I watched it. I’ve been was also a real gorilla who actually draws in a zoo. Sadly, at the end of the story ,Ivan got moved to a zoo, but Julia still visited him and I think she adopted Bob.
She will not stop smiling
I absolutely love the student names😂
