The Ancient Civilization of Mali was fascinating! Students shared their knowledge of Ancient Mali by creating a Thing Link. First, we needed a background image. Using Pixie, students drew a map of Mali, located on the continent of Africa. Once they were pleased with their maps, they submitted to me using our classroom work collector. Next, students scanned a QR code using the iPads which took them to a google folder of Mali images, downloaded from Britannica Image Quest. Once students had selected their image and the topic they wanted to report on, they had to save these images to their camera roll. Using the app Tellagami, students were able to upload their image and create their own avatar. They then wrote a script, explaining their section of the project and made their avatars come to life! Once the students were satisfied with their projects, they exported the videos and submitted them to me using our work collector QR code. I then was able to link their videos of Ancient Mali onto the selected map. The kids did a fantastic job with this! Click on the black circles around Mali to view their videos!

We know our probability! Students worked in groups to create a chatterpix, explaining probability of a certain set of objects. Additionally, they created pictures in pixie. They had to include a set of items and then were asked to create three questions about their picture for their classmates. They did an amazing job with these and really had each other thinking about the probability of certain events! Many students even created a hidden answer key for their peers!
