The 3rd grade tech journey has been pretty basic thus far: Typing and Google Slides.
It's time to kick things up a notch (remember Emeril?) in the tech game! It's time for Book Creator!
A huge writing unit in 3rd grade is Informational Text. They review elements of non-fiction, explore supporting details, and develop writing skills in general. The kids get to choose their own topic, which the kids love.
The writing starts in January. The tech practice starts now!
To kick things off, we practiced typing in a website - yikes! Thankfully, GoGuardian makes it easy to send websites to kids computers! Once they got to the website, the kids had to make sure to click on student login and login with Google. Then, they're in!
It was fun exploring cover design, learning to add text boxes and import pictures, and yes, change fonts. The drawing tool in Book Creator is amazing! You can add little details to enhance your pages, create custom backgrounds, and so much more! It's all so intuitive, to, so after a little practice, the kids are good to go!
