21st Century Classrooms
Victor is using the latest in technology to highly engage our students with their learning and to help them grow in our technologically rich world. Examples of this can be seen in many of our classrooms including Ms. Atkisson's 2nd grade class and Mrs. Ager's 5th grade class.
In Ms. Atkisson's classroom, students use netbooks and a Smartboard to show their understanding of their Junior Master Gardeners program. Please click here to visit Ms. Atkisson's 21st Century classroom.
In Mrs. Ager's class each day a student is chosen to be a Daily Reporter. Their assignment is to write a short article about the events that occurred during class that day. Using a computer at home or one of Mrs. Ager's classroom computers, students type their news stories and submit them via email, floppy disc, CD, or flash drive. This give students the opportunity to write using technology. To view Room 6's Daily Blog, please click here.
