Rachel Onyskin posted a discussionCan you help my school win a $100,000 grant?
Hello fellow Classroom 2.0ers! I am a lurker... love the dialogue I see, but don't often contribute to it. I am the technology teacher at Shepherd Elementary.

Hopefully, some of you will take some time to vote and maybe even vote often between now and 6 PM on June 23rd to help my school win $100,000.

Rachel Onyskin replied to Michelle Nebel's discussion Interactive Whiteboards vs. Wireless Slates"Thanks for the posts here! I was hoping to find this question. It's nice to have found it! I'm elementary and lean towards the slate (wish mine were an airliner, so I could use the notebook software with it). I have had my students use it…"
Rachel Onyskin commented on Richard's group Elementary School 2.0"Lori, My kids love playing games on the Net, and basically any interactive learning game can be made that much more interesting using the touch technology of a SMART board.

Rachel Onyskin replied to Stephi Glazer's discussion Looking for a kindergarten classroom that wants to write letters and share information on a ning site in the group Elementary School 2.0"I am a technology teacher. I love this idea, and will keep an eye on this thread. Currently my district has a partial block on Ning, but I've heard it may be unblocked soon (I see a basically text version of the site now). If the unblocking…"
Rachel Onyskin replied to Jennifer Meschi's discussion Webcam Collaboration"I am a K-5 technology teacher in central NC and would like to start Skyping again. I did a little bit last year. We enjoyed it! I'm hoping this year I can do at least one call with each of my classes. My lab was moved and my computer restored…"
Rachel Onyskin replied to Janet Toto's discussion Technology Use for the K-3 crowd"Janet,
Here in NC our tech curriculum expects our K-2 kids to explore word processing, multimedia, Internet, even spreadsheets. I teach each class 50 min once a week. We usually spend 10-20 min on the floor for learning time and then get to…"
Rachel Onyskin replied to Emily's discussion disinfect laptops and desktops"I do sanitizer on the way in to the lab (just before going to computers after floor lessond for kinders), and about once a week I try to wipe down the kbds and mice with Lysol (or similar) wipes before I turn on the computers. This year, I'm…"
Rachel Onyskin replied to Tamra Lanning's discussion Does ANYONE else have this job??"Tamra, What you've said sounds kind of like our Instructional Facilitator.
