Little Fingers!

Keyboarding already in Kindergarten and First Grade???  It is hard to imagine, but these little fingers need to be introduced to proper keyboarding at this early age.  The great part is that they have a huge desire to learn this skill. I think it makes them feel grown up.

Typewriter Fun in the New Year!!!

Students in first grade wait in line to experience the wonders of the ancient electric typerwriter, which dates me terribly as I learned to type on a vintage Royal, non-electric beast.

Christmas Blessings to You . . .

Everything from Mangers, Ornaments and Christmas Trees were designed in the computer lab this week.  Merry Christmas to all!!!

Jingle Bell Rock!

Fourth grade students worked hard creating their "music video" of Jingle Bell Rock.  It was fun to see how creative students had to be to get the music to match their animated text.  Great job Fourth Graders!!!

Blog Article Printed about Dusty!

I attended a Technical Education class this week at The Eighth Floor and the teacher asked us students to consider being guest bloggers.  I have enjoyed using my blog in the classroom about my new kitten, Dusty, and decided to write an article about using Dusty's blog.  Click on the link below to read more about it.

Excel Design Projects!

Students in 1st through 4th grade take time to have fun in Excel by creating their own design using cells that have been formatted to be squares.  Designs include puppies, trains, sports cars, flags, names and even Minecraft characters.  We will advance to data entry, graphs and charts next week as we gather Thanksgiving food information.

Tic-Tac -Toe!

Students work together to play tic-tac-toe in the Corefx program. 



Spreadsheet Presidential Predictions!

Students in both Tech Ed classes used Excel spreadsheets to calculate the electoral college votes and predict who they think will become our president on November 6th.  Using the internet helped students see which way each state is leaning.  Good luck to both presidential candidates.  

Powerpoint.

Fourth graders used the promethean board to share their powerpoint presentations.  Each student researched a state and completed an eight slide powerpoint which they presented to their classmates.  Students can choose between a pen or activ wand to transition their information.
