Creating an ebook with 2nd graders

Second grade students in Ms. Danielle Collins’ social studies class recently studied native Georgians. As part of a culminating activity, the students created dioramas depicting life of the native Georgians, the Creek and Cherokee Indians. The students displayed their projects in the media center. Ms. Collins and Mrs. Deana King, the Media and Educational Technology Instructor, worked collaboratively to create a classroom electronic book using iPads. Each student took a picture of his diorama with the camera on the iPad. The picture was then inserted on a page in the book. The students used the recording device on the iPad to add a sentence describing what was occurring in their diorama. The individual pages were made into an electronic classroom book for sharing.
