Third+Grade

Third graders bring a high level of thinking, skill, and creativity to their technology products. These students are digital experts. They require highly engaging activities and innovative thinking from their teachers. They enjoy interacting with each other and with students from all over the world. They are comfortable with technology since they spend time after school playing video games, having fun on the computer, and communicating with their friends by texting, chatting online, or talking on their cell phones. Many of them use Nintendo DS1 to create and communicate.

Third graders began to learn new programs last year as second graders, so they were able to explore these at a higher level. Some of the student products they created are
 * Digital stories
 * Edited photos
 * Advertisements
 * Captions for photos
 * Commercials
 * Webs
 * Math pictographs
 * Digital lessons
 * Designs - houses, cars, cities
