Over the past few weeks, the grade 2 classes have been learning about body systems. As part of their final task, they have been creating Keynote presentations. It has been wonderful to see the growth in understanding in their knowledge of the body and technology. One group decided to get up and check the color combinations that they used were easy for the audience to read. This demonstrates a great awareness of how to make slides easy for people to read.

Teacher learningLast week Ms. Eksteen and I hosted a teacher session on using Google Classroom. This is an additional tool that teachers can use to communicate with their students. The teachers were very enthusiastic to use this new tool with their students. Ms. Eksteen is already using this tool in her class and I have heard nothing but positive feed back from her and her students. keynoteGrade 2 students are currently working on creating Keynote presentations for their end of unit project. This is a fantastic tool to learn and the students have very quickly learned how to do some very interesting with the program. I look forward to seeing the completed projects.
The past week at BIFS has been an incredible week. Over the past few weeks the Grade 5 students have been conducting a lot of their work using the Google Apps for Education (GAFE). GAFE provides a fantastic set of simple and powerful tools that enhances the learning experience. The students enjoy being able to work collaboratively on documents. Since the start of the year the Grade 1 students have been practicing logging onto to the network and accessing the Internet. This past week I noticed that the students are starting to become more independent and faster with this task. Finally,I wish everyone a Happy Chuseok and hope that you are able to spend this time with your family and friends. |
