Monitoring GAME Plan
As part of the road to progress regarding the GAME plan, I have talked with my Technology Integration Specialist at my school sharing what I would like to do with my students. She told me she had used Storybird last year with several students. She gave me several "tips" to use. I have gained a few new students since the original technology/privacy/release forms were issued. I was reminded of the importance of having these in place before beginning this online collaborative storytelling project. In fact, I just received news that another student will be added to my class tomorrow. I had wanted to start this week, but with this new addition, and the importance of having forms for each students, I will wait until next week when all of that should be secure.

Hi Melody,
ReplyDeleteYou raise an excellent reminder--when student work is published on the web, we want to secure the necessary permissions.
Storybird is so much fun to use--and the professional looking result should ignite new interest in writing--in storytelling and reading and critiquing.
It may also encourage students to who are interested in art to develop their illustration skills.

Melody,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your plan is moving forward and that you have a plan for next week. You bring up a good point about students being added to your classroom at different points throughout the year. This can be a challenge when you are not at the beginning of a unit. Also, talking to the technology people is a great idea. I have found that they can help you do a lot of things you might not have known were possible. Good luck with nexts week story telling.
Melody,
ReplyDeleteIt was so great of you to ocllaborate and take the advice of the Technology specialist at your school. Your diligence shows that your game plan is moving forward and you use your colleagues as an important contribution.
