Fishcreek third
graders have been using Adobe Voice in the AT&T Classroom to create digital
stories. The third graders were
given the writing prompt, “I remember…” to use as the springboard for their
story and then drafted their narrative using google docs. To create and format the story, the students
used the Adobe Voice app on the ipads by entering the text from their narrative
and then adding images, photos, icons and music from the app to create a short
video. Adobe Voice can be downloaded at no cost from the Apps store.
Creating
digital stories provides opportunities for children to use higher order
thinking skills to organize and design the story elements and the traits of the
characters. It also provides an opportunity for students to utilize auditory,
verbal, visual, and kinesthetic modalities in combination to create a very
personalized and meaningful product that reflects their learning.
