Fall Session Week 8
B1-2 Technology:
After our keyboarding (boy, they are getting good at it!), we watched a short video of Jan Brett reading her book, The Gingerbaby. We used Microsoft Word to turn ourselves into Gingerbabies and make a holiday card which I will upload to the blog next week. After we finished our cards, we had fun decorating some online gingerbread houses and Christmas trees.
3-4 Technology:
Students started class this week by taking a 1 minute typing test. They took the test at least twice and recorded their highest score before moving on to a keyboard game. We'll take the test again later this Spring to see how everyone improves. After keyboarding, we discussed the differences between a blog, an email, and instant messaging or chatroom. The students had fun going to Santa's website at the Northpole to email a holiday card to their teacher or parents and to chat online with an elf. There are also plenty of stories and games to check out at this site!

Fall Session Week 7
B1-2 Technology:
It was a letter M day all week! M is for Maryville-we "visited" the Maryville City website online and learned about hyperlinks while checking out pictures of our City Council. As a class we brainstormed words describing Maryville that start with M and used them to make a word cloud. M is also for M and M candy! We learned how to use Microsoft Excel to make a bar graph of candy colors. Finally, we created our own funny M and M online at Become an M.
3-4 Technology:
We used Powerpoint to create a holiday present-can't tell you anymore, it's a secret!
