Started with my K-1 crowd by reading the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. I then modeled the KidPix program and showed them how to make their own dot and decorate it. Then came time to put them on the computers and draw their dot. Oh Lord! Some of them had everything but a dot! The students that followed directions were able to print their dot and they were put on the wall outside the lab. It was way more chaotic than I thougt it would be.
Next it was on to my 3-5 students. I gave them an Internet Scavanger Hunt worksheet about hurricanes. I modeled how to type in a web address and navigate the site. Good grief! About a third of them didn't understand the assignment! I had to type the address in for them after I explained a gazillion times,"Type it in the address bar EXACTLY like you see it on the worksheet." How hard can that really be?? I guess I'll tweak the lesson for the rest of my students on Thursday and Friday. Apparently they are not as "tech-savvy" as I was hoping for. Oh well....tomorrow's another day. Breathe in..Breathe out..get through it!
