Our grade seven program this year is based on the theme, "Stories of Home" and, as a third term project, students are engaging in creating a digital story of home they came to call our community home. I'm hoping that they will connect with their own family story in a new way; I know that some have already started to connect with their family members in a new way!
We're using iMovie, scanning technology and some basic Photoshop software to complete this task.
In May, parents of our students will be invited to come and watch their stories in an evening of video, song and a little bit of food. This is a first for us, and I will report back on our progress if you'd like!
