Description
Description
This exciting project introduces Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students to digital storytelling through the creation of a collaborative e-book. Using the Book Creator application, each student will contribute a page about themselves, fostering their creativity and digital literacy skills.
In this project, students will create a digital book together. Each child will share personal information such as name, age, talents and favorite things. They will find images, draw pictures, write sentences and record their voices on their pages. They will use their personal creativity to decorate their page.
This project not only teaches technology skills but also helps students practice speaking, writing, and working together. It provides an enjoyable way for students to share their interests with classmates and learn about using computers for storytelling.
