Jessica (Barth) Steffel replied to Jan K's discussion 'Best program for K-8'
We have purchased scholastic Keys for our word processing needs. It is simple enough for K students to make elaborate presentations and documents, meeting that 'creation' standard. It is a great lead-in to other products they can use at…

I have been prepping one of our new HP mini's with that configuration and when I tested it, Movie Maker ran from start to finish with no issues. I didn't do extensive testing of course, but I created a video with the webcam, fancied it up,…

Jessica (Barth) Steffel replied to Renee Nicole Vinci's discussion 'SMART boards'
The best way to learn to use a Smartboard is just to try it. I am a teacher tech leader in my building, and all the teachers in my K-2 building wish they had one. We do have some. Here are a few of my thoughts on them... - Almost any lesson can be…

I love it, what you say is true. I particularly found it humorous that you mention butchering an animal. This skill is becoming a lost art in our society, especially within our modern family cultures. I have been taught by my father, uncles, and…

Joel Garcia replied to Jessica (Barth) Steffel's discussion 'Anti-Tech'
Jessica, first of all, I have a lab in my classroom and I use it everyday. Before I built this lab, although it is totally cool running Edubuntu LTSP, I had to justify in my mind exactly how I would use it. These were the questions I posed to myself…

Anti-Tech

Hi all,I am looking for resources to present the counterpoint side of a debate in my master's class regarding using technology in elementary education. In other words - why NOT to use it. Does anyone know of research articles or respectable sites I can cite in our debate?I'm a building technology leader trying to put myself in the shoes of the less-than-willing that I am attempting to lead! This is difficult as I'm definitely an advocate of using tech!Thanks!JessicaSee More

Jessica (Barth) Steffel replied to Norman G's discussion 'Your Math Software Recommendations'
Norm, If your school has a bit of money available, our school adopted SymphonyMath (www.symphonylearning.com). It is an excellent way to build number sense and beyond. We are using it K-2 but the program has up to 3rd grade skills. Some of our high…

Hi Jessica,

With your interest in Web 2.0 Tools and Online Collaboration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

Hi Jessica,
I am a librarian in Markham college, Peru. I really loved your wiki, and since I'm preparing a Web 2.0 introductory training session for my colleagues teachers, and would like to share it with them as an example of what they can do with this new technology. How is your experience with voki compared to podcasts? I noticed you have a list of wiki members (parents?), are they collaborators or viewers?
What do parents & students think of your wiki?
I've started to make some collaborative lists about reading comprehension in google doc, based on The 7 keys of comprehension, a book of Susan Zimmermann. Do you have any experience with google doc & would you prefer wiki?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I work to integrate technology with grades K-5. Would you be interested in doing some type of collaborative WB 2.0 project with a first grade class in PA?

Hi Jessica,
Just read your post on "introductions" at the ElemReadTeachers group. If I were you, I'd stick with focusing on READING as you complete your master's degree. Here''s some food for thought on the topic:

Just something to consider... :-)
