You will find information online, evaluate the usefulness of different websites, practice online safety and digital citizenship, plan and problem solve, cooperate and collaborate , and put your computer skills to good use.

On the 5th Grade Library Page there are resources and ideas for both. BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY, answer the questions on this form about your project: 5th Grade Digital Creation Project
Homework: Continue to plan the details of your project. If possible, watch the video tutorials posted on the library page (or video tutorials you find on your own) so that you can become more familiar with the program.
Next time: We will work on these projects for the remainder of the school year during library classes. On the last day of class, we will present as many projects as possible (both finished and unfinished).
