Carleen Short replied to K Cromartie's discussion 'Tight little hands'
That's a lot of manual dexterity at the lower age range. Through first grade, we point, click, tap Enter rather than double click. My thoughts are that given the young age and the length of use ahead of them, doing anything repetitively, let alone w…

No song because we point, click, and tap enter K-1, so that things don't slip slide away.

Thanks for the reminder. I really need to play with it and share it with the teachers. I look forward to reading your review. You always do an excellent job sharing how you use things with your students.

Maybe if you could approach the committee with specific ideas on how you would like to use these sites they would be more willing to grant access.

Double Click 2 Replies

Everytime I am working with 1st graders and we talk about opening up a file and double clicking, I always feel there should be a song.  I thought I would ask here if anyone has made one up.  Thanks!

Kid Pix Deluxe Stamp Tools

Help! My kindergarten students are having a hard time finding certain stamps in Kid Pix. I have seen someone post a sample of all the stamp sets and what each set contains so that it can be printed out and stored near the computer for reference. I can not find the site now that I need it. Does anyone have that file or can lead me to the website?

Has anyone ever used the animated drawing website entitled shidonni.com whereby students can draw an animal, the website animates it and requires the students to draw its food, background, name it, etc. There are games to play in order to win additional props.

Software Must Haves

I am new to teaching technology. I work with K-2 students once a week for 40 minutes. We have just opened our lab so it is a blank slate with no software.

I am also creating a curriculum using the Washington State EALRS as a guideline and any other tips from web sites and books. <<b>b>I am supposed to make up a wish list of too… Continue
