**Midwest State Flipper Projects ** Students in Third Grade practiced working in Power Point to create flippers about Midwest States. After researching geographical information, important facts and interesting details, students organized their research onto slides. Students added a picture from Google Images and were creative with font options. Students learned how to change the printing output so that 4 slides fit on a page. Enjoy “flipping” through our final product outside Mrs. Roche's Technology Office! 

**Kansas City History Podcast ** Third Grade students ventured into the world of podcasting, creating their own class podcast about early Kansas City history. After learning important facts and events during their Social Studies class, students worked in pairs to write a script about one important topic. We recorded their script, added an introduction as well as music and sound effects. After briefly touching on copyright law, we added a copyright disclaimer.

**Anti-Cyberbullying Project ** **Third graders spent several days discussing bully behavior using technology -- cyber bullying. They learned what it is, when it might happen, how to avoid it, what to do if it happens to others, and when to tell an adult. After many examples and discussions of solutions, students wrote slogans to encourage others to end cyber bullying. They used a digital camera to take pictures of themselves posing. Using a program called GIMP, students altered their photos to create a speech bubble and type their slogans. They are sharing their projects with Oakhill in the hopes that you will help end cyber bullying. ** media type="custom" key="7347149"
