My most successful lesson with technology dealt with Kidspiration. I created a KWL file about dinosaurs using the program. Then I brought my second graders into the lab and we worked on adding and making links to the concept circles that were there. Students could write things they knew about and what they wanted to learn. Then they could connect their ideas to other ideas. Once the unit was done we went back into the lab to add to our file of what we have learned. The students were very excited to be able to type on the computer about what they knew. I think it was successful because the format was set up and easy for the students to come in and work with. For next year I would make sure that the components that I created were locked so they did not move around on the students when they were making connections. It would also be nice to go into the lab and check in with that more than just at the end of the unit. I have incorporated Discovery streaming into the room. Students like to see real life clips about what we are talking about. My class is registered for Thinkquest also but we have not done a lot with that yet..I am hoping to work on that soon.
