Tool Factory Home-page:

Students will use TOOL FACTORY home-page to initiate student e-folios. Students first project will be an "all about me" pod-cast. Students will work in pairs to use digital cameras to take a small clips of an "autobiography" that they wrote, and edited in their Language Arts class. Students will then be able to take the cameras home to take pictures of family members, favorite place, food, etc to edit in their autobiography using TOOL FACTORY. Students will then have a complete PODOGRAPHY to post on their TOOL FACTORY home-page.

** Please refer to other lesson plans for e-folio projects.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
Student homepags will be used to keep a digital trail of all subject areas. Math, Science, English, Writing, Social Studies.

I teach in a low performing rural elementary school. Many students don' have computer and basic technology at home, and this opportunity will give them a chance to be prepared for the 21st century.
