Third graders in Ms. Tate’s class at Chamberlayne Elementary have been learning about water conservation (SOL3.6d, 3.9e). Today they made posters to hang around the school encouraging students to conserve water. We decided to make them online using a site called BeeClip so we could share them with others who don’t attend Chamberlayne. First the students decided which were the most important facts from their research to include on their posters. They typed them up using BeeClip’s text feature. Next they used BeeClip’s built in Google Image Safe Search to look for pictures that related to their text. Finally they selected some of BeeClip’s stickers to add decoration to their posters. In order to save the posters without having an account, the students had to take screenshots. Then we uploaded the screenshots to an online photo sharing site called CoMemories. You can see them all by clicking here. The projects turned out great, and the students were proud of their professional looking posters that will be displayed around the school.
