Finally, comments posted on graded assignments from last month!
Note to all...... Do Not Use XtraNormal.com because apparently that is a main reason I lost points. Apparently it made it so I had "no voice." To me, I thought that the reports I made were fun and creative, especially when my target audience is elementary school students. I was trying to think outside of the box, while using a new tool that I had found to create small movies with characters. I wrote all of the script for all of the characters.....isn't that using "my voice?" I agree that the voices on XtraNormal.com are slightly robotic, but those are glitches that can be fixed given more time to create movies, and perhaps upload my own "voices" into the movie in place of the more "robotic" ones. I was proud of myself for trying the new software and taking a risk. If you value good grades however, Do Not Use It!!!

As a side note: XtraNormal.com is an excellent tool for elementary students to use to create their own movies. I plan to use it with my students in the future. It is user friendly and students will be motivated to write even more so if they are then given the opportunity to make a movie.
