Digital Storytelling: HS Tech Student Leading the Way

One student on the Boone High tech team has been working hard on integrating technology into the classroom.  With the cooperation of a Boone Middle School teacher, she had that opportunity.  Sixth grade students wrote a personal narrative and then with Katelyn's instruction and guidance, they took one section of that narrative and created a digital story using Scratch. This project allowed students to use their creativity, promoted collaboration, and enhanced critical thinking skills. With Katelyn's goal of being a teacher, what a great experience for her and the middle school students.
