Over the years, I have learned to embed my vocabulary words in games of Boggle, and then have the students compete against other students for fun and practice in class. The definitions are clues as to which words might be found in the game, so they have to know the defintions in order to play competitively. I used to create the games using Excel and display them on overhead transparencies. Later, I switched to Powerpoint and displayed games on a projection screen. I just finished programming a teacher utility that does the same thing, and I would appreciate having teachers test it and give me some feedback on its use. It is appropriate for all subject areas and all grade levels (as long as students have learned to read) but it only works on a PC right now, not a MAC. It can be downloaded from my classroom demonstration website at [link removed].
We recently received a new computer in our classroom. On our old computer was the Edmark Kids Desk program. However, we don't have the software to put it on our new computer. Does anyone know where I can buy it or download it?
Thanks! Jessica

For educational use I have created self grading testing program for Math, Spelling (with voice), Science and etc. Email me with a need, I can solve your problem.

I have to do a "action research project", and the topic I chose was technologies effect on literacy development. I have just a couple questions and if you could answer them it would be a HUGE help...
1)Do you use technology in your classroom? ie smartboards, powerpoint,ordifferent educational software...
2)How do your students respond to your use of technology?
3)Have you noticed a difference in your students abilities to process and retain information because of your use of technology?
4)Do your students who normally struggle in areas of reading and comprehension have higher levels of achievement when content is delivered traditionally or when delivered technologically? For example if comparing a lecture without powerpoint to one using it, do you feel you capture student attention more positvely... do students who use a computer to do research for a project produce better work compared to students who use books?
5)Do you believe technology should be used in the classroom? Can an educator be as effective without using technology to deliver content? Can you achieve your lesson plan goals without it?
6)Do you feel programs like microsoft word have a postive effect or negative effect on student vocabulary or grammar skills? Do you feel this can act as a crutch or actually exposes them to vocabulary and writing methods that they can use?
7)Does your school/district invest money into technology? Does it actually have a plan concerning its use?
8)Does your use of technology help students grasp the curriculum? How do you know this?
9)Does your school/district provide training on how to use these tools or are you left to figure it out on your own? Are you interested in recieving technology use training?
10)What is one way you used technology in your classroom and did you use it with the intention to improve/support student literacy development?
Thank you so much for considering the answering of these questions... I know you all have so much on your plates... I wish you all the best...
