Movie Shorts and Reading Strategies

Hello friends!

Monsters University, what a great movie.  But, the short, "Blue Umbrella" really affected me.  Not only did it make me feel sad for inanimate objects, but it also made me do some metacognition.  I realized I was predicting and inferring the entire time.  I realized this was a gem for introducing and practicing important reading strategies.  So I went on youtube and pinterest to look for some shorts to use.  Holy Cow!!  There are a ton of amazing shorts that are appropriate for kids.  There are also many that are not appropriate.  In doing this search, I decided to make a resource that could be useful to all of us.  That is what I am sharing with you today!

This first google doc link is to a list of animated shorts.  I have included the youtube links and what reading strategies with which I believe they work the best.  You may use them in any way you wish, but having watched them all, I placed them where I plan on using them in my classroom.

The second google doc link is to a list of graphic organizers to use with each short.  They are not specific to the short and can be used for any resource.  There is one graphic organizer for each reading strategy.  I plan to later make additional graphic organizers that are video specific, but I wanted you to have it to start your year.

Windows 10 Will Soon Show Edge Browser Tabs in Alt+Tab

Alt+Tab is useful for switching between windows, but it can't help you find that browser tab you had open in one of your windows. Soon, Windows 10 will show all your open Edge browser tabs alongside your windows. When this change is available, you can just use the new Microsoft Edge browser normally. When you Alt+Tab , all your browser tabs will appear as their own thumbnail—as if they were their own browser windows. Microsoft Don't like this? That's fine. Microsoft says you can disable it from Settings > System > Multitasking. You can also set it to only show your last three or five browser tabs so tab overload doesn't swamp your Alt+Tab switcher, too. This feature is just for Microsoft Edge right now, but we could easily see it coming to other web browsers. Edge is based on the same Chromium code that forms the basis for Chrome, for example—Google might enable this feature in Google Chrome, too. It's easy to see Mozilla Firefox taking advant...

How to Use Your iPhone as a Webcam

NYC Russ/Shutterstock Webcams can be expensive and hard to find right now. On top of that, their video quality is probably worse than your iPhone's camera. So, why not use your iPhone as a webcam for your video meetings instead? Here's how to do it. First, Consider Using iPhone Apps Instead Using your iPhone as a webcam requires that you install an app on your iPhone (which must be running for it to function), and a companion app on your Windows PC or Mac. The setup is fairly simple, but there's an even simpler alternative: native apps. If you want a webcam to make Skype calls, chat with colleagues on Zoom or Slack, or simply catch up with friends via WhatsApp, consider just downloading the relevant iPhone app instead. These apps are purpose-built for a mobile experience, so they work great on the small screen. If you want a hands-free experience when using your iPhone like this, invest in a cheap tripod . You can buy tripod mounts for smartphones to adapt any...

Cooler Master’s latest all-in-one liquid coolers crank up the light show

These are the first coolers from Cooler Master to have addressable RGB LEDs. RGB lighting is practically everywhere these days, but until now, you couldn't purchase a liquid cooler from Cooler Master that had individually addressable RGB LEDs. That changes with the introduction of the MasterLiquid ML240R RGB and ML120R RGB , both of which are all-in-one liquid coolers. Both coolers have a newly designed pump with 12 addressable RGB LEDs on the water block and eight more on each fan. Cooler Master intends to release a new software utility called MasterPlus+ that will give users complete control over the lighting. Alternatively, the LEDs are compatible with addressable software offered for select ASRock, Asus, and MSI motherboards. Cooler Master said it designed both coolers in-house, meaning these aren't rebranded coolers. Part of that custom design includes a low profile dual chamber pump that separates incoming coolant from the radiator-bound coolant. "Cooler Master’s un...
