Informational Text Books

For the past week we have been working very hard on an exciting project during Reading Workshop in Room 6.  Students have been creating their very own Informational Text books using new technology!  Students selected a topic, read about this topic, and then wrote down their thinking using the app, Lino.  Students then created their book using app Book Creator.  As students wrote their informational pieces they referred backed to Lino where they had stored all of their new learning.  Student illustrations were created using the app Doodlecast Pro.  As a part of this project, students learned how to take a screenshot of their illustration on the Doodlecast Pro app.  Students then found the screenshot (photograph of the illustration) in the camera roll and added their illustration to their page on BookCreator.  Once students finished their books they uploaded their work to their very own Google Drive accounts.  Students then learned how to embed their book from their Google Drive account to their KidBlog!  Please make sure to check out your child's blog to see their wonderful work.  All books will be posted to student blogs before vacation!
