Kindergarten students saw their crayon drawings come to life in Kinder Heroes, our big year-end technology project at Holy Redeemer Elementary, where I taught this spring. This collaborative project saw student volunteers from Grades 4-7 collaborate to digitize and animate superheroes created by our youngest students.

It's a vivid example of digital storytelling, a technique where students use simple coding tools to tell amazing narrative stories. Animation, sound effects and music come together in engaging stories that show what kids have learned in almost any subject area.

NLSchools, I will be hosting an introductory digital storytelling workshop at this year's ULEARN summer learning series, on Aug. 6. You can sign up at ulearn.nlschools.ca

We've been singing this song in the studio all week, so we decided to make a fun little animation for it! We still giggle every time the pink fish "Woohoo!"s. 🐟😊

Thank you, Corook, for writing a song that is both fun and positive! We are big fans!❤️

There are lots of ways things can go wrong when you first learn how to code in Scratch, and after teaching hundreds of introductory Scratch classes, Mr. T has seen all of them. "It's amazing how often the same little problems come up during the first lesson," says the veteran tech teacher. "The list goes on and on, but there are three that come up so often that I try to mention them in every lesson."

INTRODUCING ANDY!
In this episode we meet our newest character, a moody middle schooler named Andy who has big ideas but not enough Scratch skills to pull them off. Andy did a vocal appearance in our tutorial on removing white and checkerboard backgrounds, but this is his first starring role in an Atomec Studios production, and we have big hopes for his future career with us! The character was designed by our artist, Miss Lynne, and voiced by Mr. Tomec.
