Sumo Paints and BoomWriter
What did you create and why?
I created a lesson using BoomWriter and SumoPaints. The students begin on BoomWriter using the prompt to write the first chapter of the book. Students then illustrate their chapter using SumoPaints.This challenge gave me a lot of opportunities to explore different apps and tools. I like Mystery Science because the lesson is all set up for teacher. A video introduces the topic/mystery, students are given a challenge and there's followup with data collection and other activities. I also liked Denki Word Quest and Rewordify. I explored Road to Grammar but found that I like NoRedInk which I have used in the past better.
What went well?
Getting set up on BoomWriter is easy. There are step by step instructions. Teachers set up accounts for their students. I found Sumo Paints also easy to use, no accounts necessary.
What was challenging?
Sumo Paints has a lot of tools available so it took some time to try them all out. I got overwhelmed trying to get my lines straight.
What did you enjoy?
I liked exploring different websites and trying out apps. I found Mystery Science engaging.
What ideas do you have for using this tool?
I plan on using BoomWriter in September. Students are able to write chapters for a book. I think they'll enjoy being able to illustrate their stories with SumoPaints.
