As part of the third grade curriculum students learn about the American Revolution. This year we decided to research important people of the Revolution. Students started by collecting information using the statewide databases.
Then I introduced students to an app called Skitch. The students were able to pull images of their revolutionary person from the web and then annotate them. During the first class they learned the basics of the app, such as how to add an image and the tool bar functions. The following class they created their Revolutionary Biography Skitch.
Next, I taught students how to use a QR code to access their class wall on Padlet.com. Padlet is a great way to easily share work in a public space. The students were able to teach each other how to post onto the page and by the end of the class everyone had an annotated picture posted. The class will use the slide show feature in Padlet to present to the class. The students were focused the whole class and were excited to see their classmates work on the wall.
