Weather Reports in Tellagami

Last week I collaborated with the librarian, Ms. Lingerfelt, and 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Partenheimer, on their weather/storms project. They had finished up library research, but were trying to think of a way to incorporate a fun, technology tool to present their information. I suggested using Tellagami. They loved the idea and we gave it a try today. The students wrote their weather reports and drew the backgrounds for their weather event prior to the lesson. When they came to the library, they used Tellagami on the iPads to take a picture of their drawing for the background image, created their Tellagami character to look most like them, and then recorded their voice to give the weather report.

When they were finished, they used Seesaw to send their finished videos to the librarian. Here is a sampling of their awesome weather reports!
