My students using digital cameras to create a digital book.

I had my students take out digital cameras during recess a few weeks ago (yes, we have recess daily); P. They took pictures themselves and their friends playing and goofing around. Afterwards I uploaded the pictures as well as field trip pictures to a file on our computer system at school. I taught the kids how to use powerpoint making buttons, transitions, and sounds. They each made 5 pages. They inserted pictures from the file and them wrote text to tell about the pictures that were chosen. At first the kids did not write in completed sentences instead would write "me and my bff". When I started seeing the text, I had a mini lesson on complete sentences using capital letters, punctuation, and having a completed thought. We are not quite finished with them yet, but when I have a few early finishers, I will post them here.
