ISTE Standards
The most recent project I have been working on with my students is to create a fractured fairy tale and then create a digital story using Storyjumper.  First, we read the story The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. Then I had them write out their own versions of the story. Now they are working on turning their written stories into digital stories using Storyjumper. They are really enjoying creating their stories and using Storyjumper to add illustrations to go with their writing.

I feel that this project connects with the  ISTE Standards of facilitating and inspiring student learning through creativity because they get to design their own stories and use technology to add pictures to really make them come alive. It gives them an opportunity to use their imaginations. I also feel that this project demonstrates my ability to create a digital age learning experience using contemporary tools. In addition, I was able to model for my students what I wanted them to do by creating my own story and then collaborating with them to create a story together. I was also able to collaborate with my practicum student and instructor on this project by having them help out in the classroom while the students were working on their stories. Finally, I feel that I am growing professionally by taking this technology class and implementing what I am learning into my classroom.
