Teachers to Parents......
Lets REALLY Give This Another Try...........
I am very tech savvy and implement soooo much technology into my classroom. But..... just haven't found my nitch for blogging consistently about my classroom yet. (may have something to do with the fact most days I'm sooo busy don't know if I'm coming or going)
Sooooooo lets start with some of my favorite techy classroom things this school year.
Tech tip #1 ~ Hour of Code
My first graders have truly enjoyed participating in the Hour of Code.

Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding participation in computer science by making it available in more schools, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science and computer programming should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, such as biology, physics, chemistry and algebra.
Tech Tip #2 ~ IPads In First Grade
Some Of My First Graders Favorite Apps..........

We just got done doing a two week author study on Mo Willems and my firsties LOVE these books.

Reading Rainbow
I received some ITunes gift cards as classroom xmas gifts this year and ended up buying the full version of this app as my children love this app. You can log into 5 devices with the same account.

RAZ Kids ~ Click Here
This subscription costs around $95.00 for a whole school year but is sooooo worth it as my first graders love getting on RAZ Kids as enrichment to my reading program.
Tech Tip #3 ~ Google Apps and Google Classroom
My first graders are very fortunate that we have an abundance of technology at our fingertips in my school district. We utilize a Google Chrome Cart every other day for a 40 min block and each of my first graders have there own chrome book with a Google account. They are able to put educational apps into their own personal drives as well as other apps I use for instruction. It is truly amazing how their 6yr old minds can navigate around through multiple user names, passwords and programs. We do mini tech centers during this block and their excitement and engagement it truly infectious.
