It was great seeing the students reactions at Wasatch Elementary yesterday morning. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to make the process any smoother next time. Did your kids come back today excited to use them again?
ReplyDeleteMy students LOVED the netbooks! They wanted to use them all the time. The first day they had a harder time getting use to the setup and use of the mouse. By Friday they were pros! I had a few that were still having a hard time, but those students weren't quite as computer literate. I am excited to use them next year and see how students react.
ReplyDeleteIt took a while just to get the laptops up and running. We worked through several bugs and managed to get some work done on the laptops. We collected class data from a lab and graphed it as a class. We had students journal their thoughts and impressions of todays experiences and upload the files to dropbox.com for our review. Students followed along with the lesson, accessing pictures and diagrams independently.
ReplyDeleteMake it through our first day! Expected some down time getting computers up and running--what I didn't expect is the amount of tech teaching that had to be done in order to give students tools for the class.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I'm excited about is using the dropbox. Each student has an "inbox" and an "outbox" in their file. They post assignments to the "inbox" and as teachers, we read, comment on, and grade the assignment and return it to the "outbox". Love the instant feedback option and no paper. Students are also journaling and saving to dropbox. Eventually they will be reading each others entries and commenting on peer journals.
One thing: perameters need to be established as to what sites students can visit ie...facebook? email? gaming sites (here's a suggestion incase students finish early: http://www.uen.org/7-12interactives/brain.shtml
Loved having students graphing results of a bubble lab we did in class on-line. After gathering data, we used http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx which is an user-friendly graphing program and allows discussions on formatting graphs.
So far so good.
