Every year we have different ways of reporting what is going on with Technology. I have chosen to start this style of reporting again to keep a detailed account of what is going on in fifth grade at Caroline. The beginning of the year started with a Buzz for Technology. In September I jumped write in with using laptops for the class. We did a guided discovery of proper use of a laptop and how to take care of materials. This was modeled after taking a summer workshop on resonsive classroom. I can honestly say I learned so much about my students and the various levels. I have students that have used laptops reguraly and feel comfortable with them as well as students that have never used a laptop, only desktops. All students were so excited!
It is now December, and technology is integrated throughout the curriculum. We have done web quests on immigration, reaserched various topics on the internet through the Caroline Library, listened to personal stories of Immigrants, use Everyday Math Games online, Raz-kids, Brain Pop and Garage band.
Overall, the students are having a blast and becoming problem solvers and are comfortable with broblem solving independently when using the computers. I have 23 students in my class this year and it is smooth sailing.
Until next time,
Ms. Rottenstein
