Technology Integration Keeps on Rolling

Posted by: Brian | October 7, 2008 |

SHOUT OUT TIME!
Mrs. Patgorski: (see the post below)

Mrs. Ruben: Today in class we played a stock market game to review the SOL for The Virginia Company of London. So that the students can better understand what it means to be a stockholder in a company, and why shareholders desire a profit for their investment, Mrs. Ruben played the CEO and we had trading on “the floor” of our “stockmarket”. We tied this in to the present economic crisis on Wall St as well. The technology integration part? Mrs. Ruben practiced with her keyboard with the MCPS system (PowerPoint) and we finished up with effective test taking strategies on our PowerPoint. Great job, Mrs. R.!

Mrs. Barrett: Mrs. Barrett and I sat down to plan for a lesson next week in Science. To review for the weather SOL, students are responsible for making/scripting a weather forecast and will be filmed next week. After she and I work on rendering the video, we’ll have a TV “newscast” in her room.

Mrs. Montgomery/Mrs. Austin: Students today worked on regrouping in the computer lab by using Kidspiration 3. Instead of having to take time to distribute materials at desks, both teachers were able to use the virtual manipulatives on Kidspiration 3 and print off the papers for students to take home.

It’s great working with such a dynamic staff!

I visited during the great stock market buyout and was impressed. ALSO Mr. Greishaw was in his room today playing “Who wants to be a millionaire” with his 6th graders. They still had all three lifelines and were up to $6,000 dollars. Contestants were handpicked by the previous contestant and I even learned the difference between squared and cubed today! Technology is taking over at Tyler.
