Middle Elementary Tech Notes

This week, middle elementary students (Team H2O) are trying something new in the computer lab!  Each student was able to have some "sandbox time" with Lego Digital Designer, after a very basic one-on-one introduction from the instructor.  Starting next week, we will be using Lego Digital Designer (free download available for PC and Mac) to review many important skills and tap into our creativity.  Students will eventually make their own digital Lego creation. Additionally, students enjoyed playing "Stack the States" on the iPads or exploring the fun world of reading using our Tag reader library and pens.

Middle School Film Festival a Success!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in our Middle School Film Festival.  It was a hit!  The students' videos were awesome, the students were excellent, supportive audience members...I am very proud of all of
them!  What a wonderful capstone to our movie-making unit in Technology.

Later on this weekend, I will be posting links to the videos on the middle school Facebook page.  The videos are uploaded through my YouTube account, but are unlisted.  That way, they are available to viewers who click the link, but not searchable. Watch for these awesome short films!

Thanks again!
