This morning the students presented their PowerPoints over clouds.
The students each took turns comming up to the computer and giving
their presentation. The students did a pretty good job with this. They
showed the rest of the class what they had been working on, and
explained the reason why they did the things that they did.

During Social Studies today, we watched a United Streaming video. 
United Streaming is a website that teachers can access to show
educational videos from the Discover Channel. We watched a video
on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The students were to
watch the video and take notes in their journals about what they
learned.

Today's technology wasn't anything special. We used the PowerPoint
and television combination for the students to do their Target the 
Question. Again, this is a routine that the students do everyday to
warm their minds up and get ready for math.

Today we went as a class to the computer lab. The students were to 
use a math program called Larson's Math.  The students have been using this program all year long and knew exactly how to access the program. 
The program is a fun and interactive way for the students to learn 
math concepts such as addition, subtraction, skip counting etc.

Another form of technology that my students used was PowerPoint.
The students actually created their own PowerPoints on the 
information that they learned about clouds. Some of these came 
out pretty good, and others did not. I tried to instill in their 
minds the concept of 6x6. This means that the slide in a
PowerPoint has no more than 6 lines and 6 words per line. Some
of the students got this, and others did not.

These next 8 posts will be short and sweet.
     1 element of technology that my students used was kidspiration. 
This program enabled the students to create flow charts. The 
students used these flow charts to classify clouds and what the 
different kinds of clounds meant as far as weather. This was a neat idea.
