SBTS EdTech

Fourth grade at Olde Creek ES worked with SMART Notebook for the first time to create weather presentations.  They inserted video clips, sound files and web links.

Fourth grade at Mantua ES learned about the revolutionary war.  They created slides in PowerPoint, saved as JPGs, to insert into Photostory to voice record their presentation.

Fourth grade students at Laurel Ridge ES are learning about verbs.  They took digital pictures of classmates “acting out the verbs”.  They then put the pictures into PowerPoint and typed their sentences.  After saving the PowerPoint as JPG they inserted them into Photostory to record themselves reading their story.

Fifth Graders at Wakefield Forest ES designed webpages using front page to publish their fantasy stories.  Design included backgrounds, music, and animated images.

After school START Team at Little Run is working with Google Sketchup to make 3d models.

At Mosby Woods 5th grade made webpages on ancient China for global awareness.

Fifth graders at Waynewood ES made movies giving biographical information of famous people.  Each student chose a famous person, researched that person, selected and organized pictures provided by the SBTS, synthesized the five most important facts about that person, and then finally narrated their movie. All movies were then shared with classes and parents using BlackBoard.

Springfield Estates Elementary School just finished doing a live broadcast of the Challenge 24 tournament.  Randolph Bills, Springfield Estates Elementary PE teacher was in charge and Carol Viens, the SBTS helped air this live, with the help of Ustream tv! Carol also put a link on the school home page for parents to view live from home.  In March, when the Cluster event of the Challenge 24 tournament happens, it will again be live and available on the web for everyone to watch!
