** Ms. Walker-2/3 STAR Class ** **Ms. Walker's class had a great time working with the exciting technology tools I brought to their classroom! During the few days I spent with the class the students learned about [|Nettrekker] and took time to work with some of the games and activities. On our last day, the students learned how to create a [|Wordle] poster with plant specific words which they research for on Nettrekker. Below are a few of the examples.** Kenneth ||< Destinee || Donovan ||< Diamonte and Courtney || Second Round- Ms. Walker’s class was working on the water cycle. The technology tool that I decided to use with them was called Gizmo. A gizmo is an interactive simulation that the students can use to create varying results depending on the path that they took. The water cycle [|Gizmo] that we used had daily activities that I used as part of my instruction.

** Ms. Owens'/ Ms. Kelly's-4/5 STAR Class ** **Ms. Owens' class had a general understanding of how a computer works and how to navigate with it. Ms. Owens wanted the students to work on practicing their dividing skills. As a class, we talked about how we could use the technology we had in the classroom to find information on dividing. The students suggested that we use the computers to search for resources on dividing. From that, I shared with them that there are numerous resources, activities, and games available on the internet. I introduced [|Nettrekker] to the students and they began to utilize the activities and games to practice dividing with two numbers.** **Second round-** Ms. Kelly’s class was a pleasure to work with! She asked me to help them with their reading strategies, so the students learned how to do proper searches for information, games, and such. After doing their searches, the students learned how to use [|Glogster] poster maker. The groups found at least 5 pieces of helpful information on their reading strategy which they would use to add to the class Glogster poster. The students were proud of their project that they had completed. media type="custom" key="19347316"
