Technology plays a large role in most of our students’ lives, both for work and for play. Since our students have strong connections with technology, it makes it an engaging topic for students to write about.

Digital citizenship

These 2nd graders used the technology image bank as inspiration for answering this writing prompt: What are the advantages and disadvantages of technology? Most students wrote that technology was helpful and good, and didn’t cite many disadvantages. However, this project was a great digital citizenship lesson and classroom conversation starter to get them thinking about how they use technology in meaningful, useful ways.

Student creativity

Inspired by the technology books and image bank, Grayson created his own story about Pokemon. He utilized a mix of images from the image bank and images he created and uploaded. This is such a great example of how students’ imagination and creativity can be sparked from image banks and writing prompts to create something new and unique.
