 * Flat Stanley - **

Flat Stanley is a book written by Jeff Brown. In this assignment we were to create the character Flat Stanley and take him on an adventure. Next we posted his adventure on the collaborative page with the rest of his adventures in EDT 6010. You can click on the link below to view his adventures in our class.

Adventures with the Class EDT6010
During the time Flat Stanley was with me; he joined us during my daughter's first birthday party, played at the park, and read his favorite story with one of my students.

Adventures with Me

 * Skills learned: **
 * Digital Photo Manipulation
 * MP3 recordings using audacity to add a voice to Flat Stanley
 * Adding photo's to Wiki

Reflection: **

I learned a lot during this project. I teach first grade and participate in the is activity every year, but creating this project really opened my eyes to new ways to approach it. Adding a voice to Stanley also make him come to life and have a personality. I enjoyed this project out of most that we completed; I think because it is one that I personally connected to. I will certainly change the way I complete this activity next year with my class. I liked how manipulating the photo allowed me to focus on the most important part that I wanted to show and not the background. This assignment also allowed me to learn how to use a program that had been in my classroom for a while and I had never attempted to use. Audacity was a program that intimidated me in the past, but after completing this assignment, I feel that I will be able to use this program in my room as well. I plan on having the kids attempt to record voices for some of their Stanley's that they completed and mail them to their friends for a new adventure. I look forward to completing this activity next year.
