Media Literacy in First Grade

Mrs. Hadden and Mrs. Leyva, first grade teachers at Caraway, used technology with their first grade classes during their Media Literacy Unit recently.  They saved their voices using Audacity, and created their advertisements on PowerPoint.

The students each used technology while creating advertisements that incorporated the following objective TEKS: Students started and exited a program independently, created and saved a file independently, used font, color, and graphics for effective communication, and created and published original products in a variety of media including a printed copy, monitor display, digitally stored files, and voice recordings.

Please understand first grade's inventive spelling; they have not been introduced to spell-check.  The joy of writing is the key.  Listen to their voices by clicking on the speaker symbol.
