Summercoresix

This summer both Ms. Kearns and I attended a week long computer training. The training was a great experience, specifically because it helped us to feel comfortable with using technology in our classroom. We learned to use Excel, Powerpoint, a Smartboard, Webquests and search engines. We also read and discussed several topics such as internet safetly, educational software, when and when not to use technology, and web guided projects for students.

We also learned how to find educational videos. Check out this one on Trumpeter Swans:
