Drag/Drop, Movies, and Dinosaurs

Kindergarten and first grade worked on their dragging and dropping technique. They learned the difference between a text box and an object and how they both move differently. These techniques were reinforced using lessons about sounds. We also talked about the scroll bar on our mouse and on the screen.

Second grade students worked on their keyboarding skills using Dance Mat Typing.

Third graders  are busy learning how to use Movie Maker to create a movie. This week we learned how to create a movie with photographs. We even included transitions, special effects, and titles. We will be posting some of these when they are done.

Fourth grade is working continuously to research their dinosaurs. We are creating Inspiration graphic organizers and word clouds. In addition, students are getting to select what media they want to use to give their presentations (powerpoint, movies, prezi, etc.). It's so much fun!
