Bring Creative Technology to Seventh-Grade Classrooms!
Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire technology integration in your seventh-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.
Character Scrapbook
To show what they know about a character in a novel they are reading, students create a digital scrapbook for this person.
Lesson Plan
Creating Comics
When developing their own comic books and graphic novels, students practice summarizing and creating non-linguistic representations.
Infographics
To help students understanding information more deeply, ask them to create infographics to share knowledge and data about an issue or science topic.
Historical Newsletter
To help students better understand the perspectives of those in different times and cultures, have them develop newsletters that recall and retell historic events.
Mind Mapping
Students can use Wixie's mind mapping tools to brainstorm ideas and organize information. Combining text, visuals and connections in mind maps helps students show how ideas relate to one another.
Public Service Announcements
Give students a real world task for argument writing by asking them to raise awareness or change behavior through a public service announcment regarding an issue they are passionate about.
Illustrated Poetry
Students create visual poetry by combining images that portray the meaning of text.
Trading Cards
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.
Point of View
Retelling a story with different points of view helps students better comprehend an author's use of voice.
Journey Journals
Students connect with the past as they write a first-person account of events in history.
