Some
Great Project Ideas
Technology
is just a tool! It's just another way to teach what you are
already teaching! Good technology integration begins with
small steps (like make a goal to just use technology in the
classroom - not just the lab - one day a week), and grows into
everyday use.
Kim
Johnson's (Yates) first graders are writing and illustrating their
own legends. Their stories are first handwritten on paper,
then keyboarded into Word. The children are using MS Paint
to illustrate the story. The students will record their voices
reading the legends, and the final product will be placed in web
pages so these new legends can be shared with the world.
Ruby
Owiny's (Harrison) 2/3 class researched and wrote about
animals. The stories were written in Word and illustrated in
Paint. Last week the stories premiered for parents at an Author's Tea.
All
of Lansdowne's 5th graders are learning how to use
personal e-mail accounts. While they are learning how to use
e-mail in the lab, so many things can be done with e-mail activities
in the classroom. If I can help you with any teaching ideas
using e-mail, just give a yell!

Web
Sites of the Week
E-mail
Your Support
http://anyservicemember.navy.mil
(Also known as Dear Abby.Net) ALL
GRADES: E-mail is one of the best ways to contact our
troops. After the Anthrax scare a while back, snail mail to
the troops has
been discouraged. This site actually does all the work. Students do
not need to have an email account, but must provide an e-mail
address. In the classroom, this could be done as a group or
classroom activity, or as a center or station activity. You
will need to provide the name of an email account, and many
teachers just use their school account. I strongly recommend
that a teacher or assistant read email before they are sent.
A BIG thanks to Susan Moore and Sheila Cope (Lansdowne) for
sharing this site! COPING
WITH WAR
IN YOUR CLASSROOM
http://www.gaillovely.com/resources/Coping.pdf TEACHERS:
An extensive list of links to on-line resources for
teachers. The resources include news feeds that would be
appropriate for children... and LOTS more! I
also have copies of some excellent resources that Jane Gettler
(Principal at Lansdowne) shared with her staff. If you would
like copies, let me know. I can forward Jane's e-mail to
you!
