In this article, Susan Kraft tells us how she integrated technology and language arts in he classroom. She aught her 3rd grade class how to use digital cameras and presentation software to tell a story. In doing this activity not only was she able to each these children about technology, but she was also able to educate other teachers on how to import graphics in presentation software and give them tips for classroom management and student grouping. "This has become one of my students’ favorite technological activities. Not only does it allow me to integrate the curriculum in a nurturing environment where student’s unique learning styles are recognized and validated, it also allows students to think and express themselves in an environment free of fear and negative consequences because there are no wrong answers".
(Q1): Is this a project that sounds interesting to you?
(A1): I think that this project would be a good chance to explore my love of photography and computers and share it with my students, I would love to be able to bring this in my classroom!
(Q2): What else was interesting about this article?
(A2): After reading the article I found a little insert at the bottom of the page. Kraft also inputed what standards this project relates to. It was good to see an actual example of the standards, and that this article could relate to our current curriculum in class.
