Technology Tidbits from Mrs. Allen
The students have been doing such an incredible job creating during Innovation Lab! From first drawing a specific theme to then recording their voices in Seesaw to learning all the diverse functions that Keynote has to offer, students have truly blown me away with their creativity this past month. I hope you have taken the time to view your student's submissions in Seesaw. They are always so eager to share their work. I have especially loved seeing kindergarten faces light up as they hear their recorded voices for the first time! Please feel free to add comments to the submissions so that their beautiful faces will light up even more from such encouragement! Oh, and please make sure to ask them about their Halloween activities this week. I have some fun hands-on STEM lessons that should allow for a scary-good time! 🎃
