ABC book of my class (Part 1)

 

Read this book made on StoryJumper

Reflexion on storyjumper tool

  Creating their own book has been a very positive experience for my students. We just have a computer in the classroom and the interactive board. Therefore, we have worked all together as a whole class activity.

  Once we decided what our book would be about, We did a brainstorming of animals whose names started with the letters in our book. Once chosen the animals students discussed features of the different animals, their hábitat, food and so on.

  I used the google images to elicit ideas from students.  AS they were calling out ideas and words I was writing them down on the blackboard in a word map. Using this technique made the task easier for my pupils. They just had to put ideas together. Anyway, I wrote everything on the blackboard so that student in charge of writing in the storyjumper tool didn´t have to much mistakes. 

  Once we had everything clear I projected the computer on the interactive board and they started to click on the different boxes in the tool, choosing images, scenes, type, color, size of letter and so on and starting to create their own product. The final product has been shared with students through google classroom

   Throughout this activity the aims planned have been several. First of all, encourage students to write by digital, attractive tolos, secondly to develop  their creativity,  the learning to learn and digital competence and finally to learn the alphabet by heart in a meaningful way.

  For next time, I would try to ask for an appointment for the computer room so student can work cooperatively at the samen time and have the chance to use the computer as much as posible.
