5th Grade Students Collaborate with their Teacher Using Google Docs

2nd through 5th grade students and teachers are really excited that they can now collaborate on an assignment such as a reading reflection. Students and teachers can collaborate in real time, thus making instructional time and student conferences more efficient.

Using the "Bucket Buddy" system to learn to log on

Mrs. Small's 5th class and Mrs. Thompson's 2nd grade class are "Bucket Buddies". They took filling each other's bucket to a new level when Mrs. Small's class came down to teach their 2nd grade friends how to log on to the computer using the new log on credentials. The 5th grade students walked them through logging on and logging off and then turned the 2nd graders loose to try for themselves. Afterwards, the 5th graders helped navigate their friends through the new website to help them find the link to take an AR test.

1st grade uses Popplets to collaborate

Mrs. Walker's class used a Popplet to show what they learned. Popplet is a collaborative brainstorming tool that allows users to visualize ideas. Teachers and students can create graphic organizers, timelines, and many other forms of visual organization.
