Lots of Work with Computers!

A couple months ago, we finally got computers in all of the classrooms! Since then, we've been taking advantage of the technology as much as we can! Check out a couple of the ways we've been using our Macs over the last couple weeks.

We've been making presentations on the program, "Keynote," which is a Apple program that's very similar to Microsoft's PowerPoint. Students researched different battles from the Revolutionary War, and created slide show presentations that they will share with the class next week! If I can get them formatted properly, I will try to post them online when they're completed!

In Math, we've been working with a program called "Geo-Logo," which is software designed specifically for use with the Math Investigations curriculum. Students have gotten some experience with basic computer programming language, using commands to draw polygons, determine turns and angles, and compare features of similar shapes.
