I would like to share with you my students' tech project from our study of animals. Here's how we made it:
1. Students drew an animal on the ipad, using the app "Doodle Buddy". We did this during my two lab times, 6-7 students at a time, using my ipads and some from the teacher next door.

2. They copied sight words to make a sentence, "I see a ____.", and phonetically spelled their animal word. They could use a stylus for writing if they chose.
3. I saved the drawing as a photo, and loaded it to my Google Drive.
4. I downloaded the photos from Google to my desktop computer, and then uploaded them onto the site "littlebirdtales.com". (some drawings cut off the top edge when uploaded - bummer, but I'll know for next time!)
5. Students worked with me individually (during rest time or playtime) to record their voice on their page, using the built-in mic on a chromebook.
6. Finally, I shared the e-book with parents.
Enjoy our little animal tale!!! The students really had fun making this, and hearing themselves and classmates narrate our story.
