Welcome to the Elementary Learn and Earn Blog! Each week I will be posting ideas for integrating technology into your elementary classroom. (Some posts will be from last year and some posts will be new.) I hope that you will explore these ideas and leave comments to enhance our discussion of new technologies. If you are taking this class for clock hours, be sure and review the FAQs on the tab at the top of the blog.
To start the class, I would like to share the Technology Resources for Tahoma Elementary Teachers website I created containing websites and blogs for teachers and students. The online resources are divided into K-2 and 3-5. There are sub groups by subject. Once you click on the link you will be taken to my Diigo page (social bookmarking site). You can view all the K-2/3-5 bookmarked sites or refine your search by clicking on the subject under your grade level. Each bookmarked site has a short description. Click on the link to be brought to the site for further exploration. From time to time I will highlight some of these sites and show you some of the key features as well as describe how you can integrate these tech tools/ideas into your curriculum.
For this weeks post, explore several sites from the resource page and leave a comment describing a site of interest and how you see yourself using this technology in your classroom. (Tell us your grade level.) If you are taking the class for clock hours remember to type a thoughtful comment that will further the conversation AND type your first and last name with "CH" in the name field.
