After working in a technology rich classroom for a few years, I have become someone who loves having my students create digital projects. When looking at this week's blog post prompt, I decided to go digital and have my students respond using Edmodo. Here is one response that really stood out to me.
"I prefer doing digital projects because I'm spend like 75% of my time in front of a computer screen, plus I'm not the best artist but digitally I'm awesome."
Last quarter, when I had my students choose their medium for their final novel projects, this student really excelled with his project. He chose to use Scratch to create an animation, instead of making a model. However, when we do art projects, he really rushes through his project and doesn't care to take his time on it.
Another student said she wanted to be able to play games in class. Her reasoning was that they would be learning, but to them it would just be playing games. This particular student is a huge fan of Minecraft and wants to be able to use it in class.
I am working on incorporating more and more options for digital creation among many of my students in order to meet the needs and interests of all.
