Webcam experience

I am very proud of myself and my use of technology. I was able to use my webcam and microphone with one of my children the other day. We had previously talked in class (the back row) about how using the webcam and microphone would be a good way to help with fluency. I have a little boy that I tutor in the afternoon that I used it with. He was very excited about it and I was too. After he read the story I played it back to him. It was amazing to see his expression as I played it back to him. He made the comment that he could read that better and wanted to try again. When I played the second reading back to him he told me that he read better the second way.

KWL using inspiration

Springdoo

I liked using the springdoo. I have had a very hard time sending my video, but it was a lot of fun to see all of the other videos. I was wondering though if their would be any issues about using springdoo with our kids. I know to take their pictures you have to have permission. I would assume that the same be true for springdoo. This week I worked with my kids to create a powerpoint project and they were very excited about this. I was a little nervous about doing this with 17 2nd graders, but they picked up on how to do it very quickly.

Try something New

I like to do different things with my kids. Well this week I am going to attempt to have my kids do a powerpoint presentation about a classbook that we had written. The book that we made is like the bare books I think that what they are called except the book that we made was publised with all of the kids writing in one hard bound book. When we finish our powerpoint we are going to present them to our parents.
