Digital Graphic Organizer

This week in class we discussed the benefits of using digital graphic organizers and how they promote literacy skills.  Students can use digital graphic organizers to: help them create summaries and retelling of stories, improve their digital writing, identify the main idea and details of a story, determine cause & effect, or a problem & solution.  As you can see, there are many benefits of using digital graphic organizers in the classroom.
Digital graphic organizers can also be used to enhance students' literacy skills across disciplines.  For instances, students can use digital graphic organizers to take notes during a Social Studies reading, to explain the procedures of a Science experiment, or to define a mathematical term.
I created a digital graphic organizer as a way to organize my thoughts about my digital story I will be creating.  I used Google Drawings, an application through Google, to create my digital graphic organizer.

    Good summary of the chapter. You might want to cite it. I think creating the digital GO for your story is great. It is well done. Dr. Wen

    Cassie,

    I like the use of colors for your digital story. It really helps you to focus on the certain areas. I like how you explained the use of the digital organizer while using it in the post as well. It is great to show and use the two examples all in one. I also like how you explained how to integrate it with students. I look forward to using it with my students as well.
