Tool #8

After watching the videos/tutorials, I learned that my netbook has a microphone port, projector connection port, a webcam, and a SD card reader.  Yahoo.  We used netbooks last year for reseach in the library, and my students loved them.  In my classroom, they can be used in small groups with one per group.  They will also be utilized for work stations.  Each I -Touch will need a name.  I will have to make that easy to remember.  There are many apps for the kids to use.  Last year my kids loved the facts practice one that gave them a minute.  I know that app helped them to improve on the Facts Tests.  There are lots of fun apps to be utilized during work stations.  Rules and expectations for use will have to be explained and practiced in the beginning.  Student managers will be in charge of getting them out each day and putting them back.  We will also have a couple of student experts to help trouble shoot as needed.  I know I will notice who the first two should be quickly just by observing them with the I -Touches.  I am so excited to have this new technology in the classroom.  Thank you SBISD!
