Classroom Teachers
“I use them for spelling sentences, brain pop, weekly reader online, creating slides for a class presentation on the arctic & states(later in the year). We use them to visit the louis braille on line museum, the Helen Keller museum, recycle city, various websites on themes we are studying, to publish their stories and peoms, to practice typing etc.”
“By each child being on their own lap top they can work at their own pace and level. This is especially good when they are reading / gathering information for their writing or extending their knowledge on a unit that we are studying. “
- Parri Thurman, Second grade teacher
