Use these examples of digital storytelling to build literacy and connect students more deeply to your classroom curriculum.
Creative use of technology can engage students, and help you integrate your iPads, PCs, or Chromebooks into the curriculum.
Whether you have Chromebooks, iPads, PCs, or Macs in your classroom, you can use technology to engage and inspire your students in the curriculum.
These digital stories were created by students using Wixie.
Students interview animals to demonstrate knowledge of animal characteristics, diet, and more.
Students explore character, plot, and theme and write persuasively as they develop a movie-style trailer for a book they have read.
Poetry's purposeful word choice encourages close, careful reading. Have student demonstrate "understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings" by creating visual poems.
Students can personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.

#readaloudoftheday is Sam & Dave Dig a Hole by #macbarnettandjonklassen. This is a kick off to our #caldecott unit in 1st grade and they LOVE this book! Students then used #wixie to show who they would dig a hole with and what they would find! #itsworthit #worthreading #edtech pic.twitter.com/zprUF6v3Ii
