After seeing the Super Bowl ad last year, I've been wanting to explore using Google Search Stories in the classroom. Before integrating it into the curriculum I decided to make one to see if it is as user-friendly as Google claims it is. The verdict? It is! I took our recent moving adventures as the "story" in my sample:
I think that students will enjoy using this new tool in many class topics. The one that jumps out the most is that of writing: organization, voice, content and reading: making inferences, cause and effect, summarizing, main idea and details. Students can make these for characters in books in they're reading, describing events in history, exploring science topics--the list goes on and on. Hopefully I will link my new class webpage to this blog so that actual student examples can be viewed as well.
