I’m presenting at NECC08…..sort of!

Yes, yes, I know, the blog has been dormant since school let out. It’s a nasty habit of mine to enter a complete communication blackout for a few days after the school year ends, and then it’s difficult to get back into the swing of things. Thankfully, after a conversation this morning with the executive director [...]

Google Earth Scavenger Hunt

This is the last week of school for me, and I wanted to give the 3rd graders an engaging challenge. Since many teachers are fond of scavenger hunts at the end of the year (search throughout the classroom/school/latest copy of Scholastic News for Kids), I decided that it might be fun for them to search [...]

I have been teaching technology in elementary school for sometime now. I had the pleasure of teaching in international schools in 4 different countries for 8 years and recently returned to the U.S. I am now teaching elementary school technology at an independent school in New York City and enjoy learning more about improving my methods and instruction in education. However, I find there is little information dedicated to technology use in elementary schools. I would like to add to this area of interest and hope to see it grow, because I know others out there share this experience too.

We are know as SITACT Incorporated and we operate out of Chicago. You can
find more about us at www.sitact.ent. We are into developing virtual
learning environments and course settings so that it becomes easy to set up
an online course for a teacher. A sample of what we do can be seen at
www.lms.sitact.net . Please use the guest login
and use "frankieuncle" as the guest access code. What you will see in here
is a simple course that describes the software, but this course can be
designed to teach diverse subject matter to students. If you feel the kind
of work we are doing will be useful for you, we will be glad to work with
you setting up such virtual courses for collaborative dissemination and consumption of knowledge. Even if you didn't like the work we do, please let us know if we can do anything else for you.

Regards,
Sanjib

Thanks for the link to that Did You Know presentation. We have lots of good question to ask our Elementary School teachers next year! Looking forward to the conversation.

Cheers,

I teach 4th grade in a district where we have no technology teachers at the elementary level. Most teachers at my school use technology for emailing and reporting grades... because they have to. With NCLB, high stakes standardized testing, tons of curriculum to teach to master, there isn't a lot of time left for technology. Still I try to integrate it in whenever I can. I hope this group will help me do a better job of it. It would sure be wonderful to have a tech teacher to take my kids once a week or so and for me to collaborate with. Wanna move to Kansas? For a New Yorker, it would be nearly as exotic as the places you've taught.
