During the months of September and October, our class had a huge project. We wanted to create a digital storybook that told the story of our school - Rolling Ridge Elementary. Each student volunteered for a job to accomplish this task. Some students were "deciders" and had the job of deciding what to include about our school. Other students were "photographers" and were able to use the iPad to take the needed pictures inside and outside around our school. Some students were page "designers" and we able to help design digital pages in SMART Notebook Software. Other students were "speakers" and were able to record their voices on select pages telling more about our school. After some editing, we were able to send our complete digital storybook in SMART Notebook Software to our global collaboration friends in York, PA and Kaiserslautern, Germany. The smiles on their faces showed a sense of accomplishment and just how proud they were for completing this project. We were thrilled to receive digital storybooks about their schools and had the opportunity to compare and contrast all three schools.
