So a third grade student came up with a fun idea while I was introducing Excel. I showed them how to fill the cells to create "ships" and type in Hit or Miss and then they turned their laptops back to back and played Battleship.

I am curious to know what your job description is. Hopefully it isn't a rude question, since these things are usually public knowledge. I teach at a school with about 250 students. I teach grades 1st-6th and have each class 3 times a week. I plan ...

Technology and Reading: Is the investment really paying off?



Three years ago, my school system invested in a research based software program called istation. I was part of the initial team that was trained in how to use this program. My job was to go back to my school and train the kindergarten and first grade teachers. The following year, we added second and third gra… Continue

Bridging Learning Theory, Instruction and Technology Reflection

I have often looked at the title of a class and wonder what exactly it would entail, wonder what would the class involve and if I would gain any knowledge applicable to the classroom. I did this with my Walden University Class Bridging Learning Theory, Instruction and Technology Reflection. I'm not one to spend a lot of time wondering which theory I lean toward or use the most. So when I started this class, I had to reflect a great deal on what I do, how I do it and put it all into writing.

This time allowed me to ask for forgiveness from her for any wrongdoings I had ever done and to pray with her every day. I know she heard me as she moaned as I talked. It was… Continue

other and the obje… Continue
