The Fall issue of the PROWL Newspaper was just issued at the end of 1st Quarter and everyone did a fine job of word processing their articles, taking untold numbers of photos, photo editing in photoshop, and finally putting it all together in Publisher.
This photographer used the filters in Photoshop to create this great effect.
More photos taken by students for the yearbook of the end of the year production of selections from Shakespeare.
"Hunt the FactMonster" is an online treasure hunt which is always full of fun facts.
Word processing projects are often assigned by the classroom teacher and worked on in collaboration with technology standards being taught in the lab.
The classroom teachers and I collaborate often on themes and ways to connect the learning in the lab with what they are doing in the classroom. 5th Graders studied Gods and Goddesses of Rome and were able to do their research, write the papers in Word and produce posters about their topics in the Tech Lab.
Thinking hard.
4th, 5th and 6th graders at BMS use the lab to do Webquests, word processing, creating and publishing documents, inquiry-based projects, research, practice keyboarding and more.
First graders have fun learning the keyboard and getting all the fish for Tux the penguin. Tux Type and Paint are open source software programs that can be downloaded for free. Parents who want these programs at home can go to http://www.tuxpaint.org/ and follow the directions.
