Ms. Robinson's Classroom: October 2011

We have been very busy this past month. I wanted to share with you some of the fun things we are doing with technology in our classroom. Each spelling unit I try to use some kind of technology for the students to practice their words with. We have used the iPads, Promethean Board, and the Laptops this month in Spelling.

With the iPads the students are able to get on an app called SpellBoard. On this app they are able to hear their words and then practice spelling them. They can also take a test on their spelling words.

On the Promethean board the students are able to do two different activities. One activity they are able to do is to write their spelling words on the board. First they can see the word, then they cover it up by pushing a button and then they write the word. Another activity we do is with the responders. The students see their spelling words on the board then they have to pick out the word that is spelled correctly. They students are doing a great job with these activities.

On the Laptops the students can get on Spelling City and practice their words in many different ways. There are games that they can play and work with their words on. They can also write stories on the website. Another activity they can do is take a spelling test. The students seem to enjoy playing on the website and working with their words. You can get on the 3rd grade spelling city web page by going here: www.spellingcity.com/jkrobinson .

Technology is a fun way that the students can work with their words. I am so glad that BBS has such a wide variety of tools for the students to use.

Here are a few pictures of the students using the different tools.
