Staff,
This first part of the post is for Kindergarten and 1st Grade teachers.  This week we will be moving into some Technology areas practicing Keyboarding and Mouse control.  As we all know, controlling those two becomes a life time of practice.  The standard and sites covered for Kindergarten are as follows:  Operating a Mouse or Keyboard.  The standard and sites covered for 1st Grade are as follows:  Identifying Letter Keys.  Please let me know if you have any questions. 

As for 2nd grade - 5th grade we are continuiing to work on the "process" towards completing the book trailers based on their non-fiction books.  This week all students created a folder on the desktop and found their exact book cover on google.  They learned how to save the book cover to that folder.  They also began saving 15 - 20 pictures into that same folder.  Next week, the plan is to select 7-10 of those pictures and learn how to insert them into a "power point" slide show.  From there, the students will take those slides and import them into "photo story."  Once all of the slides are imported, students will narrate each slide and include a book cover, title page, table of contents, glossary and index.  Each page, once concluded, will have background music and recorded narration.  When I see that all of that is included in their presenatations, I will upload them to an internet link on the school library home page.  It will be several weeks worth of work. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
