Black History & Women's History Month

After learning new tools and features in Google Slides to create an avatar of themselves, students were tasked with creating a new avatar to demonstrate their mastery of these skills. This project also entailed, learning about a famous person of color recognized for making contributions to our world. As it turns out the project continued into March so we also emphasized Women's History month as well. Students have finished making digital avatars and are now building presentations to show what they learned about their selected person. 

They started by choosing someone from our working list. New additions have been added per student and teacher requests. If someone is missing, use the link on the last slide to tell me more about them.

You too will be impressed by the talent and creativity of these fifth and sixth graders when you view their creations. Show them a few tools and the sky's the limit. See their amazing work, all original, that they made with Google Slides. Drawings were made using photographs as a guide to build these masterpieces. 

Next up, students have selected from a few options to use these creations in a presentation to show us what their research taught them. Students can create a comic or stop motion video with Google Slides, or they can share their learning with Scratch.

Some digital drawings are still being added. See if you can find the following works. There were some favorites so you may find some folks on more than one slide.
