Planning is essential! Mrs. Steward recently met with me to plan an activity for her students. Pixie was the answer to our plans. Students work to sort items into the correct category after viewing a United Streaming clip on the past. Let me know if you would like the clip, chances are I have already placed it in your classroom folder.
I love the short cuts!! Today I spent time with ESL teachers Mrs. David and Mrs. Eggleston reviewing tips and tricks to assist them in more efficient use of their computers.
Once again Kindergarten classes at Mehfoud practiced fine motor skills by building houses with the track pad mouse. The best part is they got to be the first to use the brand new laptops! Thank you Mr. Bristow for all the hard work you did to get our new equipment in tip top shape!
Mrs. Pollard is so on top of it! Did you know that she has already planned & scheduled after school training opportunities for Mehfoud teachers through February? WOW! Mehfoud is so lucky to have such an awesome Media Specialists & Technology Contact!
Mrs. Marohn’s, Mrs. Wagner’s, Mrs. Coons’, and Miss Baetje’s students did a fantastic job during their first visit with the COW. Students will continue to work in centers to develop and perfect their mouse skills by practicing several drag and drop activities.
Mrs. Goodman’s class were techno-troopers today! We were all set for a COW lesson this morning, when we hit a technical glitch. It seems the COW laptops were having difficulties binding to the server and would not log on to the classroom folder. These troopers worked very hard to assist troubleshooting and were super helpers. In the end, we were unable to use the COW. We were able to go through an introduction to Keynote. Students learned to pick a theme, enter text and pictures, and create more slides for their presentation.
Thanks for being great helpers!
This year we will be focusing on integration of 21st Century Skills in to the elementary classroom.
