Technology Article #1

Story Maker: As I was searching for technology articles, I wanted to find something fun for the students but also I wanted the tool to make them think and learn something new. On UEN I searched for interactives dealing with language arts. I found an activity called Story Maker. This activity allows a lot of creativity and encourages the students to think critically for new ideas. The best methods for teaching this activity would be to introduce Story Maker to the class, give them examples of stories and get them thinking about creating their own story. This activity can be used while teaching language arts. It helps the students discover new ways of expressing themselves and new ideas. Also, as teachers, you can mix up this activity by giving more detailed instructions and have them create a story in a different time period. There are good and bad aspects to this tool, it is a great way for children to express themselves and get their thoughts and ideas out and share them with fellow classmates. It can be a difficult activity for those who have a hard time expressing their thoughts or has a hard time following instructions. Overall, this activity is a great way to teach language arts and storytelling.
