Profile for Technology Literate Students


This week's example is from the Profiles for Technology Literate Students for grades 6-8.

2. Create original animations or videos documenting school, community, or local events. (1, 2, 6)
I Love to Read Month and celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd with Read Across America allows for a wonderful opportunity to integrate this Profile.  How can you promote reading with a creative animated video that can be posted on your website or sent to teachers at other learning levels to share with their classes.  If you are looking for additional "Seussian fun" Check out Seussville at http://www.seussville.com/ This has many activities, games and information.  Have fun promoting reading this month!
