Alayna's new teacher has her students turn in projects on a very regular basis. This teacher is is very excited about using technology in the classroom and for homework. She's applied for and won grant money to bring computers, iPods, and other electronics into the classroom. What I appreciate is that she confessed that she is not a computer expert but she is convinced of the importance new technologies in a modern student's curriculum. One of her goals for her students this year is to help them with 'Digital Storytelling'. Instead of writing papers or making posters, she wants her students to create movies, slideshows, and audio demonstrations of their knowledge.
Alayna's first big assignment was to show the class something that she has made. Alayna decided she wanted to show the class how she makes Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. Stacy took pictures of all the steps and than Alayna helped us build the slideshow you see below. Alayna did the layout and design of each of the slides on paper and Stacy mirrored that in Photoshop. Alayna than did all the typing to get the text on to each of the images. You can view the final product below.
