The Computer classes this year have been taking advantage of the availability of the various multi-media software. The 5th and 6th grade students have been creating Powerpoint presentations about inventions and key terminology for technology. They have also been learning how to type and use a word processor. The 7th and 8th grade students have been using Imovie to accomplish the same with different terminology and inventions. It has been exciting to see the students grab a hold of the new media and learn. The students will soon have their work posted on my blog so that it can be viewed by all and critiqued.
