Kindergarten_Tech_Agendas

Here is our Agenda folks! Let me know what you want to talk about when I meet with you on the 1st Tuesday of every month! If you think of something you'd like to talk about, click on the Edit this page button at the top, and edit away!

Started a Technology spread sheet Created a google account TAKS scopes for all kids Will we be able to add a COW? We created an observation checklist for technology TEKS. We worked on Photostory for our ABC checkpoint presentation. Used the Wiki to sign-up/see on-line RRISD intructions. TAKS Scopes

Okey doke, I have Excel on our list....let's come up with some lessons for excel. We can re-create paper and pencil tasks for graphing if you want, or start from scratch.

Excel: How to manage columns How to change the color of the cells How to change the color of the fonts --similar to Word Add up the columns?

Kidspiration? Did anyone get a copy of Kid Pix from Chick-fil-a? Want to do a Photostory?

Questions?? How is it going?

What's New?
PicLit

Wow, I just found something fun. The site is called PicLits. Here’s the link: http://www.piclits.com/viewpoem.aspx?PoemId=4799

There are various photographs to choose from, then you choose some words that are descriptive–or different parts of speach. The re is a word bank or you can write Freestyle. I love this. I am definitely going to send the link to my teachers. I do have a couple of questions, though.

1. Would all the pictures be appropriate for Elementary students? I’ll have to check this to see for sure. 2. I noticed that to sign up, you need an email address. Not all of our students have email. This may be a problem unless I show them how they can make a bogus email address. Which that in itself is not right. Hmmm.
