We live in the age of technology. My students welcome the opportunity to utilize technology as a means of expressing creativity. With current apps available on the iPad, students can become authors and illustrators and create books of their own.
My students are a fun, creative, enthusiastic group of learners from a culturally diverse community.
We are a first grade class looking to incorporate more technology as a way to enhance our current curriculum. My students, while strong in most curricular areas, love to read and write.
My Project
As part of our annual learning goals for English language arts, we are looking for more ways to explore reading and writing. With the help of an iPad, my students will be able use the camera, video camera, and numerous apps to create and publish their own stories to be shared with peers and families.
Students love to use technology.
Instead of seeing these children spend hours on a computer, playing games with no educational value, it will be wonderful to introduce my students to apps and programs that will encourage them to reach into their creative side and create something meaningful. An iPad will provide an incentive to create and publish stories written by themselves or with peers and use the camera to capture photographs of friends or their own illustrations. Proud authors coming soon!
