Letters went out to Santa from some of our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders to the Dickson Herald. I know Santa reads this paper so I know he'll get the lists!
Santa blessed us with three Kindle Fire HD tablets last week (He sure is a great guy). Some of our go-getter's have already earned "Fire-Time" and enjoyed 15 minutes of exploring the Kindles.
We have been working on Power Point projects that include uploading images, videos, and Power Point's onto Skydrive (cloud storage). The 3rd, 4th and 5th graders have been exploring cloud management. They even had an opportunity to make videos and insert them into the PP's. The project was to choose an inventor and provide information about them. They also had to provide citing because the lesson also included a discussion on plagiarism. They also had to learn to work as a group (just like in the real world) and manage the different personalities. To end the unit they will take a customized survey regarding this project and review the results.
