Computer

Class overview

I have created a Draggo page where each grade has their own tab. Each page has approved educational game sites. They also are learning about Microsoft Word and how to type. 1 day a week they may type their sight words or type sentences. And then another day they have to type on a different website. We will be exploring more about technology and how to use it as the year progresses. When they finish with their work they can choose between educational games, drawing with sand, or learning about different things on a few sites. We have National Geographic where they are learning about animals and different cultures. They love the games on this site too! The Wonderopolis website has all kinds of interesting facts and videos. This is Sand is very relaxing and creative. I have seen several wonderful creations from the students. I have introduced them to 3D paint on Microsoft. Here they can create a 3D world.
