https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j Happy second month of school, Kindergarten teachers! This group is intended to be a place Kindergarten teachers can build, share resources and share experiences with what's going well and what's not going well in teaching and learning. en-us 2017-10-01 18:24:17 UTC 2024-06-24 10:37:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecoffee.png https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192793467 We utilize our laptops during small-group instruction. The students use Symbaloo through our school's website to access a variety of online resources. We use ABCya, PebbleGo, ReadingAtoZ, and Math games.]]> 2017-10-01 18:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192793467 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192793685 I plan to use SmartLab during letter/word study groups! What a great way to review skills taught in a fun, interactive, and new way!]]> 2017-10-01 18:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192793685 robesonjohna https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794086 At Graden we use Raz-Kids as a daily five station. We also utilize the laptops during math stations. Last year we had each student make a google slides presentation to present to their parents at Student-Led Conferences.]]> 2017-10-01 18:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794086 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794468 I use mine daily for small group instruction time - we usually do RAZ-Kids, but I would like to give the Epic site try for my students to listen to good literature. For math, the computers are one of the rotations for workstations. The children use abcya to work on math skills that we are currently working on. At the end of the day, the children can use the computer to visit favorite sites that we use throughout the day or PBSKids as well. This time is still structured, but not as "controlling" as to what they must do like it is throughout the day. Every child has an opportunity to use the computers at least 2 different times during the day and some weeks, they have additional time.]]> 2017-10-01 18:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794468 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794590 Fifth grade buddies project together. Practice logging in and getting to a game sight that we are working on that particular skill]]> 2017-10-01 18:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794590 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794830 I am excited to try book creator for spring conferences. I also love all of the possibilities with SmartLab! Such fun ideas! Thanks for all of the time you spent finding these things for us and sharing!]]> 2017-10-01 18:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192794830 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192795583 I showed the Technology Operations Challenge to my kindergarteners yesterday to teach them about the parts of the computer.  It made today SO much easier when we actually got the computer cart for the first time!  Our third grade buddies came down to help us log on, save a “favorite” Symbaloo site, play for a few minutes and then log off during our computer cart time today.  It is always chaotic the first few times but it's nice to get it out of the way - each time is a little easier. Any tips on helping the kindergarteners master the uppercase letter in their password?  I think that is going to be the most challenging thing since all of the letters on the keyboard when they look at them are uppercase and also their password shows up as asterisks so they can't see what they've typed…]]> 2017-10-01 18:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192795583 https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192795740 I bet one of our Kindergarten teachers has a fun trick or thing to say to help kiddos remember what to do, but I went ahead and added a slide (Slide 14) in the Kindergarten Technology Operations and Concepts Challenge that shows a big picture of the keyboard with the Shift buttons highlighted!]]> 2017-10-01 18:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/robesonjohna/6r9doh80z23j/wish/192795740
