Lakeview Fifth Graders Create Halloween Stories with Educreations

This afternoon in the AT&T Classroom the Lakeview fifth graders created digital Halloween stories using Educreations on the iPads. Educreations (http://www.educreations.com)  is a free web-based tool that allows the device to record the student’s voice and his/her writing and drawing which can be saved for playback and/or shared online. Educreations can be used to create stories, animations, presentations, note-taking, etc. The fifth graders used Educreations to create digital stories building from drafts they originally started at Lakeview. Students used the image search function within Educreations to find Halloween-themed pictures and photos to accompany their written stories. Students also added narration by recording themselves reading their story.
