I love to snip! Snipping is something I learned about in this course two summers ago, and I must say I did not use it that much afterwards. For some reason-I am so excited to try this more and I am mad I did not take better advantage of it then! When thinking of things to snip I rattled through many options. My lectures are largely image-based so I did not want to do that, as it is too easy. Since I will be teaching French, I tried to think about French lesson plans.That would be just a link, so I kept thinking. I started looking at articles about Sarkozy's loss and came across a bit of graffiti-and boom! How cool would it be to introduce something like French graffiti? So much artistic, social and cultural stuff going on! So I snipped me out a chunk of this article. I like this tool a lot, but my only complaint with it is that it only will snip what is on the screen. That is why I had to do this one in two chunks. Is there a way to get the screen to scroll down as you are highlighting? I'd love to know!
NETS T standards associated with snipping:
1) Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity.
2) Design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments.
This is a fun, easy way for students to quickly capture images, bits of articles, diagrams, charts and other useful bits and pieces to put in reports, assignments, or share. You can almost create your own collage with the snipping tool. Students will find that, just like a pair of real scissors, they can snip and grab things for their personal or educational use. Thusly reinforcing fine-tuning digital refinements on real world applications.
