__ Why I chose Go Animate ? __ ** I chose GoAnimate for my classroom becuase it is a fun way to review a message or lesson that has already been taught. Our school has begun using PBIS (positive behavior intervention and support) and this is a great way to go over lessons quickly to remind students of the expected behavior. I plan to use this alot in hte beginning of a new school year and after Fall & Spring Break. **

=__How do I plan to use it? __= =**I plan on using this as a refresher for students after a behavior has been taught and practiced. When a student or a group of students don't understand a behavior I will be re-teaching it and this is a great additional source besides practicing the behavior over and over again. Animated videos really seem to stick with younger kids. I also thought it would be fun to have students work with our older buddy class (4th graders) to create an animated book talk. They could share what a story was about by typing out the dialouge and sharing it with the class. First graders need help with typing but they can read the book and tell their buddy what to type.** =

=__How can this be used to meet the needs of diverse learners? __= =**This is an excellent way to meet the needs of a diverse learner. This will aid the visual learner because it is something they can watch and rewatch as needed. Animated videos seem to stick in the minds more also. It also is good for the audio learner because they can hear it in another voice besides their teacher's voice. It is also a great tool for the higher kids in the class to try out instead of writing a book report, they can make a video.** = =This would be great for ELL students or students with cultural or ethnic differences because it could be a quick reminder of something "new" to this student. It could not only tell them about routines but also show them what it looks like. = = = = = = =
