I hope you will find this blog useful as I tell you about what's going on in tech class. We're just getting warmed up, so there's not a lot of exciting stuff to put here yet, but hopefully that will change.
So far in tech, the students have received 2 assignments, both posted on our kidblog classes. The first one involved answering 5 questions by following very specific instructions given in the blog post. You can find links to these blogs on the Links page at www.lakeacademy.ca. Right now, the blog is set up so that the students can't see each others' work, they can only see their own, so if you want to know what your kid has been up to, get them to log on at home and show you. If I have graded the first assignment (I'm working on it) the mark will be there too along with suggestions as to how they can improve their answers.
The second assignment involves researching the evolution of a particular piece of communication technology and creating a poster illustrating it. They are still working on this one. When they're finished, their poster should be put up on a blog post.
Upcoming assignments include a photostory to go along with their language arts unit and a poster advertising a specific school event!! We might even post some to this blog.....
'Til next time!
