Risk Taking

As we have learned, it is important to become a risk taker.  Risk taking is a 21st century skill.  Our students are going to need to learn how to become risk takers as they learn these skills and to be successful in this new time of technology. I have been thinking about how much risk taking I have had to take during this course.  I have had to step outside my comfort zone many times to accomplish what I have in this class.  I have decided it is time to take another risk.  My students have enjoyed the use of technology in our classroom, so I was trying to decide what we could try next.  It then hit me!  Following spring break, we will be working on an "All About" writing assignment.  We are going to learn all about frogs and write and "All About Frogs" book.  I enjoyed our digital storytelling assignment so much, why not take our "All About" writing project one step more and make it into a digital story.  This would be a great way to expose my students to a new skill and they would enjoy seeing their work in a different way.  I am so excited to try this!
