Animoto is a great tool for the classroom and can be used to create a wonderful eChristmas card!

Technology Workshop - Immigration Story






"Everyone has a story that matters."



You will take on the role of a genealogist by creating the story of your family’s immigration to the U.S. whether you are here permanently or temporarily. What brought you to the US? If you do not know much about your family’s journey, tell the parts you do know.  You will use Adobe Voice to create this project. You will also address what you can do as a teacher to disrupt commonplace thinking about immigration.
