Moved from Kid Pix to Tux Paint
My kids love this as well. The pictures can be inserted into a PowerPoint slide. That's what I have my older students do when I want them to write about their picture. I've also uploaded them to Anim…

Posting Student Work Online
One more vote for Wikispaces! Our school has a website through School Center and it is improving and I can post more work there but it's so much easier on Wikispaces. Here's my page.

Elementary Tech Teachers Ning
Well, I’ve had 3 people tell me they’d join my Ning for elementary tech teachers if I set one up. So, I decided that was enough motivation to get me started. I was going to put it on my growing summer to do list but changed my mind and started it now. It was very simple since I chose to keep it that way. For now there’s no fancy background or logo jus… Continue

- It's very frustrating doing projects with classes I see once a week. With my 6th graders I see them 3 times a week, but every other class I am just finishing up my first project. I usually do 3 projects a year per grade.

- Thanks Nedra. Yes, I teach social studies using only (mostly?) technology. So it's really teaching a little bit of both which can sometimes be challenging. Usually I try to limit 1 small tech lesson inside each class. All of my classes are project based and most of the students really enjoy it. It's the one part of the day that they are not doing endless test practice:)

Keith Schoch said… - Nedra, I now teach 6th Grade Reading/LA after teaching third grade for nine years and fourth for thirteen, so believe me, I miss using as many picture books as I used to! But it's still cool to see sixth graders as entranced by a good picture books as students in any of the lower grades.
Thanks for welcoming me and saying nice things about my blog. I'll be giving away a lot of books in December so definitely sends your colleagues to take a look!
