This Week in The Technology Lab
November 4, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Lab News
School has started and things have been going pretty smoothly. We are getting new computers in the lab on September 18th. Thank you to the parents who voted in the Bond election a couple years ago - your vote helped us get this lab. It also purchased laptops for every teacher in AISD. I can say that this teacher certainly appreciated having it this summer. I found some great websites which I will share with your children.
What happened the first two weeks in the lab:
K - learned lab rules, learned how the mouse works, used to mouse to play some games on the internet. One games helps them learn how to move the mouse around the screen, one is pointing and clicking and working on sorting, and one worked on Alphabet recognition.
1st - learned lab rules, reviewed how desktops worked, started learning a drawing package called Pixie. Next week we will use the drawing package to come up with a math problem using stickers in the program.
