Teachers’ Perspective

Student Perspective/ Reflection Students were very honest in their reflection as to what skills they felt they mastered, still needed help with, or felt they could not do. At the end out of 36 students only 4 responded that they were not comfortable using the technology on their own Students were surprised at how well they were able to find information on their own in books, using the databases, and on the web. On sharing our projects with the Senior Citizens group one student said “I like having an audience, it makes me feel like my project was important… having to use the microphone was a little scary though.”

Parent/ Grandparent Perspective
•Great to see children independently locating information in books, on the web•Very impressed with how students used online databases at home•Blogging was a great way to follow along with what is happening in the classroom•Liked that students were presenting research to Senior Citizens-It gave children a sense that their research was important and had a purpose.•Seniors were very impressed with how easily the children used technology.
