Old Mill Elementary School, Week 3

This week Ashley and I taught plural possessive nouns using a powerpoint. It is a really efficient tool to teach specific skills. We asked the kids to write on whiteboard the correct answers to the questions. This way the technology was interactive.

I notice the kids also spend lots of time in the computer labs each week. Today we went and the kids finished up a math test on the computer then they were allowed to play math games. Overall technology use is valuable at Old Mill Elementary School.

My idea to use technology in the classroom is what Ashley did in her lesson this week. She had the children write about wishes. Prior to their writing she showed a powerpoint of the many ways you make wishes; like a wishing well, a dandelion, and throwing a coin in a fountain.
