Creative Projects to turn Stem to STEAM

6/23/2014

I have done a presentation called Creative Digital Projects that turn Stem to STEAM at three conferences over the past couple of years. These 45-50 minute presentations include a bizillion ideas in a media packed keynote file that I have trouble sharing online. However I did create a condensed version of the presentation for the AOE Online Conference last summer. The presentation has been behind a pay wall for one year and can finally come out for public consumption now. The following lessons are shared in the video below. Learn more from my links. Also, see Wes Fryer's review of my live presentation at the Illinois Computer Educator's Conference here.

First graders have been going LIMA BEAN MONSTER crazy (and so have I).
Today they completed their
Lima Bean Monster Mob eBook
This book has every 1st grader's lima bean drawing featured in a mob design.
Some of the students were able to add their voices to the book next to their work.

"It is simply adorable! I want to eat it up!" -Shelly Celery

While we were finalizing our Lima Bean Monster Mob Book, 1st graders also posed for a photo dressed as their lima bean monster (with monster hands) holding their favorite vegetable. These images were combined along with a message to "Eat Your Veggies!" You canview all the finished pieces on our gallery and enjoy a slideshow video of them below or here.
