When I finally figured out how to take the pretest, haha, I did ok. I missed about 10 questions. When I went over my answers, I was able to understand why I missed some of them while others, I still need some lessons on.
Looking at 21st Century Learning's Tech Integration Projects, there seemed to be many good lesson ideas. One that caught my eye was the one on using Kid Pix to create an alphabet book on Egypt. Now, I wouldn't use Egypt, but I would use Texas since I teach Texas history in social studies. This an activity we usually do through the year using pencil, paper and crayons. The kids would love to use Kid Pix to complete this type of project. The hurdles I see would be time. We don't usually have enough computers for students to use for long periods of time. But I could split the activity up into a couple of days through out a couple of weeks.

What a great idea! Mind if I share with the 4th grade teachers on my campus?
ReplyDeleteIf you set up folders on your desktops in your computer lab, you should be able to save your work as you go. Students could even be grouped and then given a set number of letters.
If Kid Pix is not on the mobile lab, I am pretty sure that it could be loaded easily.
