5th Grade

Welcome to the top of the food chain in most elementary schools! 5th grade is a time when the students are really putting it all together. A grade in which they can lead within the school in so many ways, and also in the classroom where they now have so many skills. All of those skills open up countless avenues upon which to use technology. Students can accomplish so much as 5th graders, from writing music videos, to creating multi-dimensional projects that use several tools at once, to even writing their own iBooks that can be put in the itunes store. So what are you waiting for, dive on in and challenge them to truly show just how much they can achieve!

Dialogue using Strip Design

"My students really enjoyed using strip design to create a comic about an everyday problem here at school. Then, when we went to the standard form of writing they were better able to appreciate how dialogue can enhance a story. Now they are using dialogue all the time in their writing!"
