The point of this final tech club meeting was to continue the stories the students did last week, and if any new students showed up allow them to work on new stories. We continued to use Storybird like last week and the program worked on all the computers. Since the group as a whole had knowledge about the software we could all help students equally. This allowed us to have our biggest group so far. Twelve Students! The students were however split into two groups because the library did not have that many computers together. Not due to any direct instruction the groups segregated by gender. The boys for the most part, all picked the same theme and made stories from the images. Or they finished stories from lack week. The girls did not pick the same theme as another girl and most were working on stories from last week.
Once again instruction came in the form of individualized lesson plans. The goal for all students was to finish a story using storybird, but the older the student the more they had to type for each image, and the more the story was supposed to flow from image to image.
Next time I would try to make sure no one was segregated. This allowed the boys to all use the same theme and not have to work as hard, while the girls did good work. Also allowing some time at the end for the students to read the stories if they wanted to.
