Welcome
The computer lab consists of twenty-six iMac student workstations, a teacher workstation, a scanning station and a Promethean interactive whiteboard. Lessons and demonstrations are projected from the teacher station to an overhead projection system, shared directly to the student workstation or taught at the interactive whiteboard. Students in grades kindergarten through five visit the computer lab once a week for a 40 minute session. Students learn basic technology skills in the lab while working on projects that integrate technology into the different curriculum areas.
Each classroom has two-four Internet connected computers that are used as centers to support the academic curriculum. Students often write and edit writer’s workshop pieces on the computers, engage in research on the Internet in a supervised environment, and utilize the computers to create engaging content related to their curriculum. The computer lab, library, and grades two through five classrooms are equipped with a Promethean interactive whiteboard.

This is a great resource. I teach k-5 computer classes and I enjoy seeing what each grade level is doing here. I liked Mrs. Friedman’s Famous Inventor Slideshow and the Monster Exchange sounded like a terrific idea.

I have looked at your blog MANY times and have gained inspiration from it. I am the technology teacher for over 300 3rd-5th graders and would love for my students to be able to experience collaborating with other classrooms outside our walls. We have 24 Macbooks and can connect with Skpye, Student Google Apps, through TodaysMeet, or any other way you may know of. I would love to hear from any of your classes that are interested!
