Mrs. Young’s class has been working on creating biographies. In their studies they have been researching historical figures and creating timelines. They even wrote poems that with it. At the end they publish a book. She is having the students use the digital camera to take pictures and turn them into a video to support their learning. Mrs. Young has plans for all students to create a photostory. Yes, this is 2nd Grade! How Awesome is that!?
Take a look at this fist completed video.

Kudos to Mrs. Johnson’s 2nd grade class!

Mrs. Johnson’s class has been studying the Native Americans along with their cultures while focusing on Landforms and Natural Resources.  Their purpose was to learn about the natural resources the Native Americans used and how physical characteristics and regions affected peoples activities and settlement patterns.

Mrs. Johnson incorporated technology by allowing her students to use the digital camera to take pictures of the project creating a story.  After putting the slides in order of topic they used the computer and microphone to record a narration expressing what they’ve learned.

I think their video turned out fantastic, Mrs. Johnson.  Take a look at the video and see what her students created with random materials.

Thanks for using technology!  I’m sure your students loved it!
