Go Animate & CoSketch

We discovered a couple new websites where students can be very creative. Go Animate is a site where you can create dialog between two characters and then it will publish it into a movie speaking your words. CoSketch is a site where you can draw with someone else who is on another computer somewhere else.

Oregon Retired Educators Convention


Today we took a quick field trip up the the Red Lion to present how we use technology in the classroom for the Retired Teachers Association. We showed them the Promethean board, Internet sites we us for writing, reading, and math, and our itouches. I know they really enjoyed seeing how well the second graders worked together and how advanced their technology and speaking skills were.
