3rd graders have been hard at work learning how to use their Google Accounts and all the different apps.
1. They created a new Google doc
2. They typed using different fonts, sizes and colors information about a Massachusetts state symbol (information from their SS book)
3. They learned what copy and paste means and then practiced it.
4. They learned what wordart is and they used the website wordart.com to practice making wordart
5. They created the final wordart by copying and pasting their MA state document words into wordart and creating a cool shape and adding color.
6. Enjoy the slideshow of all their hard work.

After listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, the Kindergarteners used Doodle Buddy to draw their own caterpillar eating something delicious. Mrs. Dufraine put their pictures into iMovie. We added a voiceover to explain exactly what their caterpillars were eating. Please enjoy their hard work.

The 1st graders have been reading books and writing book reviews about their favorite book! Mrs. Holmes' class filmed theirs in technology so we used the green screen and iPad to video them. They worked cooperatively to have a partner hold the microphone for them, while they concentrated on reading their book review. Great job, 1st graders!

The TIES, Technology in Education Showcase, was a great success yesterday evening. We had over 300 visitors, per our visitor counter, and the students were excellent presenters of their littleBits creations. Here is a short video about the event:

The 5th graders are starting a great unit using the Makey Makey boards. Makey Makey's are circuit boards that connect to the computer for power. Then the students make circuits using all types of connective items. We tried out all types of items yesterday, to discover which were conductors and which were insulators. Here is a short video showing the hands on learning.

The 5th graders have been creating Timelines showing their favorite books, from Kindergarten until now. This has been a collaborative lesson from both library and technology. They used the ReadWriteThink website and took pictures of the books using the Chrome Books. They learned how to use the camera, save the pictures to their Google Drive and create the timelines. Great project, and here is a Google Slideshow of some of their hard work.
What fun, what fun. Today the 4th graders continued on their quest of inventing with Little Bits. They created bubbles and created motorized drawing devices using their very creative minds and the Little Bits circuitry. Congrats to the great working and non-working projects, failure is part of the STEAM process!Enjoy the video

The 1st graders have been hard at work creating "How To" writing using the iPad app Pic Collage. They wrote their sentences on paper and then typed them into Pic Collage. Then they took pictures of themselves and friends to illustrate their project. Enjoy the Google Slideshow showing some of their hard work.

The 4th graders today received a introduction about using Little Bits circuitry. Little Bits creates electronics with snap together magnets. They are powered by 9 volt batteries and then you add your inputs and outputs to create fun buzzer noises, lights and moving objects. We will start some projects using the Little Bits and craft items soon! Enjoy the excitement.
