Using Technology in the Classroom

This week I was able to present a digital storybook to my class. The pictures were all drawn by the class, and set to the song "What a Wonderful World." This was part of a unit on the 5 senses, in the song, Louis Armstrong sings about seeing trees, hearing babies, etc. It was so fun to see the kids react when they saw their pictures come up on the big screen. This was a good way of ending the unit because the kids felt like they had accomplished something and learned something. They especially loved seeing their names in the credits at the end of the video. I think this was a really fun way to use technology in the classroom, and got the kids really excited about the subject.
