I have been sharing this story with Year 2 and linking it to their classwork on transport.<\/p>\n<p>After listening to the story (especially Chapter 2 where Stanley is sent via the post to visit a friend)\u00a0 the children discussed where in the world they would like to\u00a0send Stanley. They\u00a0used Google Earth to decide\u00a0on a destination for Stanley, and saved an image of that location\u00a0from the Google Earth site.<\/p>\n<p>Next, each child coloured a Flat Stanley and took a photo of him which I\u00a0downloaded to the school server. Using Microsoft Picture Manager tools the\u00a0children\u00a0removed the background from their Stanley photo.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft PowerPoint was then used to bring all the pieces together to create the final &#8216;Travel Diary&#8217; entry. PowerPoint was chosen because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the images are easy to move around on the slide<\/li>\n<li>text may be inserted<\/li>\n<li>the background may be coloured<\/li>\n<li>the slide can be saved as a jpeg file, or as a pdf, making it suitable for use in a range of applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students were encouraged to add extra facts or be creative and add a tale of adventure for Flat Stanley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/storiesinlearning.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/stanley-goulburn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-107 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/storiesinlearning.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/stanley-goulburn.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Stanley Goulburn\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mrsbarkerstearoom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stanley-goulburn.jpg 960w, https:\/\/mrsbarkerstearoom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stanley-goulburn-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The files will be collated\u00a0in Flipsnack and an\u00a0ebook created to share with the school community.
