Kindergarten Technology Today

Hello Parents!

Some of you may be wondering what this video is about! Well your child has been in school for almost a month now and we have been working very hard with them over these past couple weeks. Traditionally, classrooms never used anything that had to do with technology...maybe an outdated computer, but that was it. In my classroom we have been using all the emerging technologies out there. We have Smart Tables, iPads, Leapsters, and Promeathian Boards. The kids love to learn on these new technologies and I know that it helps them learn.

To understand how they are doing, each student has a special login number to use the certain technologies and it links them to there own personal account. I can log onto my computer and pull up and view how each student is doing. It is showing me their reading and math level and even it shows what your child may need help with. This is a great way for me to evaluate how each child is doing and what I may need to work on extra with them.

Now for the video, this video is from my last years class and all the technology that we incorporated throughout the year. I know some of you parents may be thinking...they sit all day long on iPads and computers?! No! We just do this for a certain time throughout the day. We still have a regular classroom teaching schedule, but this helps my students to learn how to read, write, and do math problems.

If you have any questions regarding the technology we use, don't be afraid to email me or leave a comment here! Thanks so much for reading, stay tuned for the next blog post! :)
