The 3rd Grade student’s in Ms. Knox’s class at Glen Lea amazed themselves, and their teacher, when they created a movie in Pixie to show the phases of the moon.  The students added their picture to the astronaut on the title page as well as a title and their name.  Next, they filled in each of the 8 slides with the names of the 8 phases of the moon and a picture of that phase.  When all slides were created, the students clicked on the “Share” tab.  We had each slide last for 3 seconds, added a blend transition so it would move nicely from one phase to the next, and we added “Nightwatch” as our background music.  After the settings were complete, the students clicked “Create” and saved the video to their student folder on Volume 2.  We were able to accomplished all of this in one class period and the students LOVED their final product!
