The 4th grade teachers at Longdale, Jen Travers, Crista Wheaton, and Leigh Hershey, challenged their students to create newscasts about weather systems. The students teamed up with students from each classroom and wrote their scripts collaboratively using GoogleDocs. Each classroom was charged with writing one portion of the newscast. Once the scripts were drafted, the discussion of “edits” took place using the chat feature. The projects were filmed using props, Promethean boards, and even fake snow! The final video products were edited using iMovie. Below are 2 examples of the final iMovies. Great job 4th graders.
