I love using pages. There are so many great things that this program does that Appleworks or even Word can’t do. These 3rd grade students took their rough drafts and entered them into a blank Pages document. We added pictures that we took on PhotoBooth and dragged in a turtle picture from the student server as well. We also learned how to center text and change the size of the text using keyboard shortcuts. These students did a fantastic job typing their work as well. If you get your kids typing now, it won’t be long before their word per minute totals will increase dramatically.

Buildyourwildself.com is a fantastic website for integrating technology and the study of animals. The students created their WildSelves and saved the picture that they created. I have created a Pages template for the students to use. The students drag their picture on top of the green picture holder in the template and then use the text box below to describe what they can do with their body parts. Click “Read the full story” to get the template and link to the site.
