Exciting News!!!

I have exciting news to share! I applied to have our class pilot a Learning Lab 1:1 iDevice experience and we GOT IT! :)

The Learning Lab pilot program is a 2-3 week opportunity in which the kids will utilize individual technology tools throughout their school day to engage in learning. The program is intended to explore how children can enhance their learning through the use of technology. The students will be working towards the same learning objectives, but may go about the process in a different learning manner.

I will be sending home a parent permission "form" with all the details about this AWESOME opportunity. The kids and I are super excited.

I had to send in an application and along with that I sent this movie! Click below to see how we use technology in the classroom! :)


When I found out last night that we were accepted I made this video to show the kids today! It was hilarious to watch all of their faces! Students were reading what I wrote and not really comprehending it and then all of a sudden it set in and they all went crazy! :) Enjoy!
