Technology Linky

Ahhhh!!!!! Today is the last day of school for my class! Words can't describe how excited I am! I spent several hours over the last two days making a movie for them on imovie. It's totally AWESOME! I added music, transitions to slides and it even has a theme.


Today I'm linking up with Karla at Technology Tailgate. 
I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have found this gem! 
I loveeeee technology in the classroom!!!



Now I need wipe tears as I give back my 20 little ones and give back my cart full of 20 mini lap-tops. My kids used their lap-tops for Raz-Kids, Sum Dog and Nat Geo. Ohhhhh how they love their lap-tops.

Raz-Kids: Students read interactive e-books! They earn stars to buy items for their Raz Rocket. I have several students that earned over 5,000 stars and a couple earn over 20,000. There is a cost for Raz-Kids.

Sum Dog: FREE, FREE, FREE website for students to practice basic facts. Did I mention it's FREE! My kids loveeeeeeeee it!

Click my Symbaloo post to see what I used for Brain Breaks!

Check out this video and "Pay Attention" to why technology is sooooo important.

  1. I too have little ones (27 of them) and 27 laptops! Several of the programs I was familiar with, my kids LOVED SumDog too, that you mentioned above but I am going to have to look more into Nat Geo and what you did for brain breaks! Thanks for always sharing so many great ideas!

  2. Congratulations on finishing your year! I made a movie also for the end of the year with my class using Animoto. It has free teacher "plus" accounts.

    I have also used Sumdog this year and my third graders love it!
