Our keyboarding this week was a little different-we tried Spider Typer, a challenging game, and then spent a few minutes creating some spider webs with Cobweb Creator. We brainstormed some ideas about why the internet is called "the web" and the places we go are called "websites." Using yarn, we connected with each other and made a web. We discussed how the internet is a community and you need to follow some safety rules just like in the "real" world. Students had fun learning about the webville outlaws in Clicky's World and playing Webville Roundup to put those bad guys in jail!
3-4 Technology:
After Dancemat typing, we talked about blogs in more detail. We watched a Brainpop jr. video to learn about the parts of a blog and how blogs can be used. Students were excited to learn that next week they would be getting their own blogs on kidblog.org We looked at some examples of other kidblogs and commented on some posts as a class. When reading other blogs we are going to observe, respect, and contribute-the motto of the Webonaut Academy! Students enjoyed completing the webonaut missions while practicing internet skills and safety.
