We are just a few days in to the school year, and students are already logging into the computers, navigating websites and creating awesome projects!
First graders in Mrs. Darden’s class at Short Pump Elementary School logged into their own accounts (many for the first time) with ease and spent some time practicing using the mouse by building their name on the magnet fridge found on abcya {here}. I was so impressed with how patient the students were, while learning these important computer skills!
Another group of first grade students in various classes at Chamberlayne Elementary School showed off their knowledge of shapes in the environment by interacting with a lesson using Nearpod! These students were drawing pictures and typing answers to share with their classmates, we even looked for shapes at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.!
4th and 5th grade students from Mrs. Fitzpatrick’s and Mrs. Bernheart’s classes spent some time during these past few days using green screen to create some awesome videos. Students selected the location of their videos using Google Earth, focusing on the latitude and longitude of their location, and then saved these images on their google drives. Then, using the Green Screen App, students uploaded their background, started the cue prompter {here} and recorded their scripts! Stay tuned for the final projects- they turned out awesome!
