Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire technology integration in your fifth-grade classroom.
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 multimedia projects were created by students using Wixie.
Students create a new cover for a book to show comprehension and explore character, plot, setting, symbolism, and conflict.
To show what they know about a character in a novel you are reading, students create a digital scrapbook for this person.
Students can personify an object and write a story as part of an online book or animated adventure.
To help students better understand the perspectives of those in different times and cultures, have them develop newsletters that recall and retell historic events.
Students research a person from history, or a character in a book they are reading, and summarize their findings in the form of a trading card.
Students create a portfolio for a significant person in history to showcase this person’s contributions to the community and our life today.
