Bytes of Learning’s CREATE Together
Parents also became involved. I sent notes telling parents how well their children worked, and they began visiting the classroom. When the games were finished, we even invited the Costa Rica Department of Education to view the students’ work.
I was satisfied because my students learned so much from using CREATE Together. They learned how to explore the Internet; how to print and paste images, then use them in CREATE Together; and how to record their voices and add sounds to projects. Without a doubt, my students learned more using CREATE Together than they would have learned if I had tried to teach them the same skills in separate lessons. My students learned the skills far better because they were using them for a purpose.
