Letter Pop

For my class project, a group of my third graders created a class newsletter through Letter Pop.  First the students selected a layout for the newsletter and decided on a title for their newsletter.  The used the classroom computers to type articles that would be included in the newsletter.  One student interviewed the student teacher and took a picture.  Then students took turns typing their articles into Letter Pop. One student uploaded and dragged a picture into Letter Pop.  We had to spend time on editing the articles once they were dropped into Letter Pop to fit their writing into the space provided.

For the most part this lesson was successful, but time consuming.  To save time two of the students had to cut and paste their articles from the class computers into the Letter Pop layout .We had to play around with the edit button and menu bar until we could figure out how to make changes like deleting and changing the font size.

My third graders enjoyed creating the newsletter and they were pleased with the finished product.
