Blog 10 Technology update

I am using technology daily in the classroom. In World History and Language, we are studying Egypt. I have downloaded the book, Mummies and Pyramids to iBook’s. My students read along on the iPad as I read it from the Presentation station. Once we have read the chapter, Students must open their Kidblog account to view the activity that I have created to go with the chapter. Students may be watching a short video, or answering open ended questions. In 6th grade math, we have toured the online version of the new adopted math book. Students were able to go online and complete homework as well as take a quiz. Student’s that needed more practice with integers, where able to watch a short video on LearnZillion as well as Brainpop. Extra practice could be attained through Digitwhiz. Students are very diligent with policing the rules for the iPad. I have not had to change any procedures at this time.
