We finally found some time last week to have our sixth graders finish up their Dream Scenes digital stories, in which they create a short video about some aspiration they have for themselves in the future. We have musicians, writers, teachers, athletes and more in this bunch. This fairly simple project uses MS Paint, and Photostory3, and the voice of the writer. For me, the teacher, it gives me an inside look at what motivates my students, and also, it has allowed me to get a sense of the technical know-how of my students right at the start of the year.
Here are some Dream Scenes that we have featured on our class YouTube Account and our classroom blog, The Electronic Pencil:
Peace (in the dreams),

These are great, Kevin. It is so important to link the dream to effort, and your students did a great job. I will share with my students.
