Smart Technology

Technology has been increasing through out the years. So do you ever look for fun educational games on the ipod or ipad? click here to view some games from itunes.

Here are some that I believe are awesome:
No Fear Shakespeare : Shakespeare is the beauty of language and art but not everyone can understand it. This is basically our slang transtlation from Mr. Shakespeares awesome writing. Did you know more than half our language words were developed from Shakespeare himself?
Alphabet Tracing : Little kids don't want to just sit down and write on plain ol' paper like we did. They know technology is out there because they probably have it in their own house hold. So how about changing it up a little bit? This is a fun new way to teach them handwriting and watch it come to life.
Spanish for Dummies : Our world is becoming more bilingual speaking and the second language is spanish so what better then teach it early?

                                                          
Are you lost on what to do on your smart board? Here is a link for you

I have a group of middle schools (6-8) and they are absolutely delightful. Although they don't have a smart board in the class room. If they did I would do something a long the lines of this fallowing link: Walking in Someone Elses Shoes. I would use this to get them up and moving around the room and also to interact with each other because they are a very shy group. This lesson will not only help them get out of their shell but to learn something new in a fun way.
