I've taught 2nd - 5th grade. My last 2 years of teaching were in 4th grade and involved a TRC (Technology Rich Classroom) grant. This blog started out as a journal through that process. Now the blog is my way of easing out of teaching. If you try one of the ideas and tweak it, let me know! Most of my ideas are based on fourth grade, however, I believe most can be adapted to other grade levels.

Using Glogster
I've wanted to try this all year. We finally are getting a chance to do it. I let the kids go out and create the background of their glog. We played with some of the features....just enough to get them really into it, and then I had them get out of the program. There was lots of grumbling going on. Now that they knew what they could do, I had them draw a "map" of their glog. The topic was butterflies. They know a lot about butterflies, we have lots of pictures and some videos. They told me the glog is better than writing a paper because it's on the computer and the computer is fun. (They wrote their paper on the computer...guess that doesn't count!)
