Speaker: Lori Iadisernia, 2nd Grade, Harmony Elementary School, US
Lori Iadisernia: I used zoolife in my classroom last year, um, and I loved it, and I plan on using it again this year. Some ways that I incorporated zoolife in my classroom is for students to look at live zoo cams when doing their animal research projects on habitats. Also, um, I used it as a reward. Students were super excited to choose an animal that they wanted to see a live cam of, um, and also as an early finisher activity, uh, my students have a 1 to 1 Chromebooks, so they're able to go on their individual devices, and this is something that they love doing.
Lori Iadisernia: The live videos are key. Students love videos um that we could watch on our smart board, um, and, and the activities are quick and simple and reinforce, um, what the students have learned. In addition, I really love that these lessons are, um, standards aligned for my school and I can incorporate it into reading comprehension lessons as well.
Lori Iadisernia: use it because the true testimonial is in the. The students love it. The students love learning more about animals. They love comparing animals to themselves. They love to watch the live cams and dig deeper, and that's exactly what zoolife does is dig a little deeper into animal studies.
