Mr. Schrenk- 2/3 STAR Classroom

** Mr. Schrenk's students worked well with the technology tool that I brought to their classroom. The students started working with Nettrekker, an educational search engine, which they loved using. The following day, several students came back and told me that they had used [|Nettrekker] at home for practice, which I was impressed with! ** ** Our topic was Main Idea, which we got alot of experience with. The students were challenged in many different ways to explore how to find the main idea in a paragraph or a story. After getting comfortable with our technology tools and practicing with finding the main idea, the students were instructed on how to use [|Glogster]. Due to technical difficulties, which sometimes cannot be avoided, we worked together as a group to put a few of the students' paragraphs into a Glog. Take a look! ** ** [|Mr. Schrenk's Class] **

Mr. Harris- 4/5 STAR Classroom

The students in Mr. Harris' class worked with me for thirty minutes doing activities and games that related to Force in Motion, which is what they are learning in Science. They explored Nettrekker to find their activities. Over the period that I was with the class, we had technical issues daily with the wireless, so the students did not always get their alotted time. Although on the last day, the students created a poster about what being in the STAR program meant to them. Their words were then put into Wordle to create a poster.
