Over the past week, we have had the privilege of using two new pieces of technology! The first, calculators, may not seem like such a big deal, but our class had a great time "playing" with them and using them for Calculator Mazes. We are planning on using them to check over our work.
This summer, Proctor received an entire cart of 20 laptops! We have been using them to type up our final drafts of our personal narratives. (This ties into Common Core Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.3: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.) All of our practice on Type to Learn has been paying off and we are getting really fast and accurate!
One of our essential questions for this entire year is: "How can we use technology to naturally complement our learning?" Using these laptops is truly making our writing process easier!
