I know my 4th graders LOVE to use the comuter any chance they can get, but there is SUCH a time constraint with "x" amount of instruction tmie required for each content area. I was thinking about taking turns posting a question every two weeks or so and allowing enough class time to have students work in groups to come up with appropriate solutions(I am thinking bell work or morning work on Fridays or something like that- each teacher could decide the best time to do that). Then,(and again, this is to your own discretion of how you choose WHO to actually post the information) allow one or two students to BLOG the information on our "online journal" so that everyone can compare results within the differnt regions. It touches on both math and science strands this way. (AND s.s/ geography if we had enough people to do it!) It also allows everyone a chance to blog online (if it is done evry two weeks, students could partner up and take turns, or one could actually type the results and one could read results from other schools...) It wouldn't take very long to do this, and I think the students would get excited about "incoming blogs". I thought about even makign a picture of an envelope (like the "you got mail..." and putting a magnetic strip on back, and everytime their is a new question we could post it up on the boards and write the questions under it so students could start thinking abou their responses. (They would get excited as they see the envelope on the board in the morning....) Just a thought....and even if we could not get an EXACT website, we could just respond through email and make our own journals to post information in. Anyone interested??? If so, we can later exchange SCHOOL email addressses (that keeps us all protected :) and for now you can just respond to this post. By the way...I am in Arkansas!
lease send me an idea to do with the 1st day of school in 2nd grade.

Hi: I am an educator working with special ed and at risk kids. I am looking for inspirational stories for a project that I am doing. If you have had a inspirational/success story about a student, I would love to hear about it. Age and grade does not matter. I work with lots of parents and other type of intervention groups. Thanks so much!
