We are continuing to complete our FitnessGram Assessment.

When students have completed all components, the plan is for them to go online and input their data. Students will then receive a individualized analysis of their scores.

Integrating Technology in an Elementary Classroom

Subject: Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Math
Grade: 4
Technology tools: Computer, Projector, Interactive Whiteboard
Tools used: PowerPoint, Interactive website
Activity type: Lesson, assessment, project, research

This week in reading I will be using Spelling City in Literacy First stations for Words Their Way word sort practice.

I also use my classroom computers for student research on NC history, geography, etc. The students Google search and compare researched information to other sites as well as what their teammates found.

I use a listening station in Literacy First stations and this week they are listening to Roald Dahl read Fantastic Mr. Fox.

In whole group, I will use the SMART Board for viewing videos of JFK to go along with our Weekly Reader. We will Google search and project Google images of Oswald, Ruby, and Maria Shriver.

Other websites I will visit to connect with the Weekly Reader are http://www.dinosaurfact.net/ and http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/index.jsp.

Also, I will use it in math to project our textbook and homework practice book as well as real world math problems in the beginning of each lesson (these are interactive PowerPoint presentations generally used to introduce the lesson). I will use “Mall Math” from Lakeshore which reviews decimals, fractions and percents on the SMART Board using an interactive game and real world flyers. 

Lastly, and most cool of all, I will be using the Zoomy this week for Science. We are studying systems of the body and I will use the handheld digital microscope to project examples of striated, smooth and cardiac muscle from their text book. We will also take a close look at our skin using the Zoomy!

Using technology tools to reach all students - every day!

Subject: Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies
Grade: 3
Technology tools: Computer, Projector, Interactive Whiteboard
Tools used: PowerPoint, Interactive website
Activity type: Lesson, assessment, project, research

I use technology each morning by having rotations to use IXL for math review as part of morning work.

 
I use a SMART Board lesson every day in math rotations.



Kids use PowerPoint presentations, SMART Board Notebook lesson, game templates like Candy Land for prefixes and suffixes, etc.

Students have used Wordles this year for each vocabulary unit or chapter book they are reading.



Students make the character scrapbook from Scholastic for each book we have read with a prominent character.




Students use the Internet to research for non fiction projects.

They have made a Word document for each other to highlight positive character traits in a musical chair activity.

I use Google Images for inferencing ideas.



I use Pinterest to organize all of the things I find ☺




I also use my iPhone to download Apps for my non-reader EC child.



I use Storyline Online and the monthly free read-alouds on Barnes and Noble site for the monthly book available.





YouTube also features several Scholastic books read aloud with video clips.



I use blogs for ideas, lesson downloads, and games.

I could go on and on and on!!!
