teach students about the importance

We were inspired by our School

created.

In order to make students become effective contributors to the whole project, students were taught how to use modern techonology :

• Students created PowerPoints using Microsoft PowerPoint.

• Students used Microsoft Office Word to type their stories.

• Students played educational interactive games related to the stories.

• Students learned how to search cliparts from Internet.

• Students narrated the story as they were recorded through Audacity.

• Students uploaded photos taken by themselves on the PC.
