Time with Tech

On Wednesday mornings, 4th grade purple has the computer cart for the first couple of hours of the day and we utilize it to our full extent.

First, during pods the students participate in two out of four pods with the laptops.  Usually one of these two pods is based on reading, while the other is writing.  This is when we get to practice our writing skills on Kidblog and our reading skills with RAZ Kids, Into the Book, or another online reading program.

After our pods, we will often use the computers for another language arts based activity.  Today, it was to help us start our next writing project: an expository essay based on an endangered animal.  The students visited a website listing various endangered animals, choose one, and then using the research sites tab, and subsequent links on the page, began researching different facets about their animal.
