    This Website describes the technology integration at Stephen Decatur Elementary School in grades K-6.Its purpose is to inform professional elementary school teachers about how to integrate technology into most subject areas.In my opinion, it is simplistic and doesn't address higher order thinking skills. It is still old fashioned in that the lessons are mostly drill and practice without many chances for openended problem solving. There are no conclusions or results as this is just a basic page for displaying what one school uses in its technology curriculum. The site describes applications used. It doesn't list correlations to curriculum or standards.

  •  
    Madander initiated this blog to discuss how to use Twitter in kindergarten classes. There were ways examined to make sure the online work was safe. There would be communication between many kindergarten sites. Sharing information on weather, class questions, special days, poetry and story starters would encourage collaboration and thinking outside the box. This site is appropriate for early elementary classes to use for inspiration on the project.

    Nekeyma Martin helped her fifth grade music students make a video about life in a classroom which could be anywhere in America, it just happened to be in Florida. Its purpose was to describe what happens when failure hurts then leads to motivation about one's self.The technology is multimedia with uploading to the Web vi YouTube. It is one study. The use of rap and strategies are used for inspiration. The design is experience and personal opinion.The results appear to be uplifting for working hard and staying in school. The recording was good and had a good premise. This could be used to show grade school students what could be done in video and audio production.

Students will be responsible for reading a selected picture book, identifying six main ideas from the text, and mixing the main events into an unorganized list. Student groups will then record their unorganized lists into the SMARTBoard notebook software. Once all groups have entered their list, student groups will receive a different group’s book and their created list. Students will organize the new list of main events, and using the Smart Ideas Software or concept mapping software, create a concept map of the assigned story and events.
