Another year is over!

The 2008-09 school year went by in a flash. We had so many new things to do, learn and adjust to.

Our 4th-6th graders learned many new digital media skills this year. Congratulations to the kids who participated in Keynote Movies and made some awesome presentations such as How To Check Out Library Books, Taking an AR Quiz, Using an AM Scanner, Bullying and more.

A 6th grade project by Devon S. and Courtney F. was chosen as one of the top 5 in the district!

Next year we'll be using more photography and video to stimulate the impact of our research.

This is probably the last post on this blog. Hoping everyone has a wonderful summer vacation and uses the computer to REACH out to others.

Mediafest Movies!


4th through 6th graders are making Keynote Movies! They have come up with the storyboard, written the slides, imported photographs and short videos as well as Garage Band vocals!

They are learning to organize and present their thoughts and information in a digital format. Some of the ideas are wild, most all of them are interesting! The picture above was taken for a presentation about how to ride your bike safely to school.

Four movies from our school will be entered in a district wide competition for the "Mediafest" on April 28, 2009.
