How do you use technology with your pk-2nd graders

What technology do you use with your students?

[Amber Coggin]

Hello all,

Most of my K's just get on educational game sites that I find for them. I have recently taught them to open the internet (by clicking once, then pressing enter since they have trouble double-clicking), clicking on the yellow star (favorites), then clicking on the only site in the list (my website). They thought this was so cool.

First grade mostly do the same games, but a little typing, and they also use Kidspiration and TuxPaint.

2nd graders do typing, Kidspiration activities, and many online activities, etc.

Please have a look at my Computer Lab Activities wiki. I have all of my lessons and links listed there.

Thanks!

I have a smart board my students and I use a lot. We take Notebook files and put them in movie maker to make movies of the books we write. They work in a lab setting from sites like Starfall. We do shared reading on the smart board, interactive writing on the smart board, and watch power points we make on the smart board. Last year was my third year in kindergarten and first year with a smart board. I hope we can do more this next year. Aime, your site showed me voice thread and I hope to include that this year, too. We will participate in (hopefully) many tech projects.
