It has been an exciting week with technology in kindergarten. The students have become more familiar with the computers and many of them are able to log on to the computer on their own. The computer center was added to our free choice time, and the students have been enjoying using the website http://www.starfall.com/.
Besides using the computers, the students were also introduced to iPod Touches this week. We currently have four iPod Touches in our classroom. However, we recently recieved grant money from Freeborn Mower Cooperative, which we will use to purchase another iPod Touch. The students have had a blast learning how to use the different applications on the iPod Touches. They can use the iPod Touches to practice letters/sounds and numbers. They can also read books at their own reading level and have books read to them. It is a fun and engaging way for students to practice a variety of literacy and math skills.
