If only just one!

Good morning Grade Fives,

Imagine that we decide to use technology for just one purpose in our classroom (e.g. learning to type, visualizations during math lessons, research etc). I would like you to respond telling me which ‘purpose’ you would want us to keep and explain why. Think about which ‘purpose’ is most helpful to your learning.

Technology and Your Learning

Good morning Grade Fives!

I am interested in hearing how technology helps you learn. You may choose to include an example if that helps you explain your thoughts.

I look forward to reading your responses.

Social Networking

Good morning Grade Fives! This Blog is a new tool we will use to help us learn together. We will share reflections on how we use technology to help us learn. If you read my first entry, you will have discovered that I am a bit hesitant about using this tool. However, I believe that it may be an effective addition to how we already learn together. As usual, I am inviting you to join me in exploring the use of the Blog to help us all reflect on how and when we learn best.

My goal is to write to you each week and share a discovery, a query, or a celebration. You are encouraged to respond.

Given the response to our class wiki, I am very excited about the social growth we will all experience using this Blog.
